Snow has been falling on and off over the Island since Tuesday evening.
"This system is persistent," said CBC meteorologist Tina Simpkin.
"That northwesterly wind keeps things really unstable."
The snowfall was not heavy on the Island, with just a few centimetres accumulating in Charlottetown Wednesday. Those amounts varied around the province, with flurries in some places heavier than others.
Special weather statements had been in effect, but were lifted by Thursday morning.
Simpkin said at 6 a.m. there was freezing drizzle falling over parts of the Island, and the risk for freezing drizzle will continue through the morning. There could also be blowing snow in the morning in exposed areas.
