Special weather statement calls for 'significant' period of freezing rain
CBC
Environment Canada is forecasting a nasty-looking commute on Friday morning.
A special weather statement has been issued for all of Prince Edward Island.
It calls for snow starting overnight Thursday. That will changeover to freezing rain Friday morning. That freezing rain could persist for four to six hours.
The precipitation will shift to rain during the day, and is expected to change back to snow Friday night.
In advance of the storm, Islanders can expect a chance of flurries Wednesday with a high of 1 C, falling to -6 C overnight. Thursday is expected to be sunny with a high of 1 C, with clouds rolling in later in the day.

Firefighters being hit in the face with a metal pole, punched in the stomach and threatened with death by a person who woke up from a possible overdose and pulled a knife on them are among the latest violent incidents the head of the union for firefighters in Winnipeg says highlight the need for legislative change to protect first responders.
