All schools across Prince Edward Island are closed Monday as a winter storm brings challenging conditions to much of the province, with the western region bearing the brunt of the snow.

All Holland College and Collège de l’Île locations will also remain closed for the day.

Environment Canada has issued a winter storm warning for Prince County, where another 10 centimetres of snow is expected. Strong winds will combine with the fresh fluffy snow to reduce visibility in blowing snow.

As of 8 a.m., the plow dispatcher in Prince County said all plows are out, and roads are a little bit better in Prince County. The plows have been able to do one swath of each area, and visibility is slightly improved. However, the plow dispatcher said it will take the morning to fully clean things up.

“Conditions will improve near noon today as snowfall rates begin to ease,” Environment Canada said.

In Queens County, the plow dispatcher said conditions in central parts of the province haven’t improved much, and it will likely be this afternoon before things get much better, with blowing snow and poor visibility.

In Kings County, the roads continue to be slushy, and the dispatcher for the area is concerned about them freezing up when the temperatures drop, and is advising people to slow down and be very cautious on the roads.

A number of health services across P.E.I. are delaying or cancelling in-person appointments due to the weather. Islanders are encouraged to visit the Health P.E.I. website for the latest updates.
