More snow forecast for P.E.I. in updated special weather statement
Prince Edward Island could see the full mix of winter precipitation on Friday, with Environment Canada's latest special weather statement predicting 10 centimetres of snow before things start to warm up.
"It's not a major system, but it's a messy system," said CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin.
"The problem with Friday is the transition between snow and rain and what that's going to look like for most. I think for the Island, it's going to be mostly snow."
The forecast for all three counties on the Island is calling "likely near 10 centimetres" of snow, followed by 2-5 millimetres of freezing rain and rain. There is a possibility of ice pellets forming during the transition that Simpkin is expecting around midday Friday.
Rain falling on that much snow could make it more difficult to shovel.
"Travel could become difficult," Environment Canada says on its website. "If you must travel, be prepared for delays and allow extra time to reach your destination."
