Crews are out across the province clearing roads and sidewalks after a storm blanketed Nova Scotia in up to 40 centimetres of snow overnight and into Thursday morning.

The snow prompted all schools to cancel classes for the day, and several universities have closed or delayed opening this morning.

Many daycares, government offices and business are also closed or have delayed openings.

Snow started in the southwestern part of the province on Wednesday and spread eastward throughout the evening.

According to CBC meteorologist Ryan Snoddon, up to 40 centimetres fell in some areas of the province.
