Blowing snow shuts schools

Schools in P.E.I. have been closed again by a winter storm.

While the early part of the winter brought no school cancellations, February has been a different story. Last week a storm closed most schools in the province for two days.

The concern Tuesday is blowing snow. A few centimeters of dry snow fell on the province overnight. While the snow is expected to end in the morning, winds are expected to start blowing harder, becoming northwest at 40 km/h gusting to 70.

Environment Canada has issued a blowing snow warning for Queens County.
