Members of the Prince Edward County Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police continue to advise motorists to stay at home. The conditions have not improved and many roads are still impassable. Road crews are working around the clock to keep up with the snow. The skies may be clear but the roadways are anything but.
The attached picture is a snapshot of current conditions. There are over 100 vehicles abandoned on roadways with over 12 individuals stranded in their vehicles. Emergency crews continue to prioritize calls for service and respond accordingly.
Drivers are reminded if they are stranded in their vehicle to ensure the exhaust is clear of snow to avoid these fumes from entering the vehicle.
OPP have also received a number of non emergency calls including asking for deliveries for food and wellbeing checks on cats which tie up resources required to handle this significant weather event.
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.
