What a day.

The heavy snow and harsh winds arrived quickly Tuesday, walloping Prince Edward Island.

Many on P.E.I. captured the snowfall on social media.

Besides the flurries in the western end of the Island last month, CBC meteorologist Jay Scotland called this P.E.I.'s "first real taste of winter." And there's more snow on the way this Friday too, he said.

But before then, here's some of the photos commenters shared with us on social media.
