Weather is odd on Islands. I took yesterday afternoon off to go pick up my new truck. It was snowing here in PEI with drifting, icy roads, etc. We crossed the Confederation bridge and just in that 8 miles, the weather turned almost sunny and the hour long drive in New Brunswick was like summer road traveling all the way.
Later that night we returned back to PEI and as soon as we crossed the bridge, we were in high winds, icy roads and near white out conditions again. Nothing compared to your blizzard of course but our isolated weather systems always amuse me.
