Weather statement warns of winter mix of snow, freezing rain
CBC
Environment Canada is now describing this weekend's storm as "very intense" in a special weather statement Thursday.
The statement says the weather is expected to start as snow Saturday morning and change to rain late in the day — with freezing rain and ice pellets possible in the middle.
Then Sunday, rain is expected to turn back to snow, before it tapers off.
The statement also warns of a potential for storm surge and higher than normal water levels Saturday afternoon, mainly on the north coast.
Ice pressure and rafting is also possible.
P.E.I.'s Public Schools Branch is looking for 50 substitute bus drivers, and it'll be recruiting at three job fairs on Saturday, June 8. The job fairs are located at the Atlantic Superstore in Montague, Royalty Crossing in Charlottetown, and the bus parking lot of Three Oaks Senior High in Summerside. All three run from 9 a.m. until noon. Dave Gillis, the director of transportation and risk management for the Public Schools Branch, said the number of substitute drivers they're hiring isn't unusual. "We are always looking for more. Our drivers tend to have an older demographic," he said.
