Atlantic Canada will see another system bring a wintry mix to the region on Thursday.
Forecasts call for New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island to see between 5 and 10 cm of snow in southern areas, with less than 5 cm for northern parts.
However, the forecast for Nova Scotia becomes more complex as the province will see different types of precipitation. But there could be 5-15 cm on Cape Breton Island.
Cumberland, Inverness and Victoria counties are forecast to see only snow, while southern Nova Scotia may see snow later transitioning from ice pellets to freezing rain. Widespread special weather forecasts cover the province.

For the Annapolis Valley, northern areas and Cape Breton, the precipitation will start as snow, but will mix with ice pellets and amounts may reach 10 cm locally. This poses a hazard to anyone traveling or traveling in the area as roads may become slippery with ice accumulation.
Halifax and the southern shores will see mostly rain, but the threat of freezing rain is still there as the system moves through, especially closer to the Sackville area.
By Friday, as the system tracks east, southern Newfoundland could see 5-10 cm of snow. For the St. John area and along the Trans-Canada Highway, close to 5 cm of snow is expected from this system.
