Members of the Prince Edward County OPP closed all roads within the municipality last evening. The combination of visibility being near zero and road conditions making roads impassable in many locations led to the decision to close roads. Drivers continue to venture out this morning despite extreme weather conditions and closed roadways. Multiple vehicles remain stranded on the roadways and weather conditions have not improved. Drivers are reminded to stay home and only contact 911 in cases of emergency.
Prince Edward County OPP continue to monitor the situation closely with Prince Edward County Fire and Rescue, Hastings Quinte EMS and the Municipality of Prince Edward and will update when conditions improve.
