Following a cold but quiet stretch, things are turning active as we reach the end of&nbsp;January in Nova Scotia.

Cold temperatures and some snowfall made for an icy commute Wednesday morning, especially on untreated roads and surfaces.

The system was moving across the province Wednesday, with snow beginning in the&nbsp;morning for western areas and then throughout the afternoon for central and eastern areas.

Most of Nova Scotia can expect snow on the roads and continuing to fall for the commute Wednesday afternoon and evening.

The system is expected to bring widespread snowfall totals of two&nbsp;to five&nbsp;centimetres for Wednesday afternoon and then another five&nbsp;to 10 centimetres for the evening and overnight.

While the bulk of the snow will have departed, we'll see some lingering flurries and a few more centimetres possible&nbsp;into&nbsp;Thursday morning, especially over eastern areas.

Thursday will be very cold across Nova Scotia with highs in the -8 C to -12 C&nbsp;range and northwest winds gusting near 50 km/h keeping wind chills in the -15 C to -25 C&nbsp;range.

Our active pattern will continue with yet another system looking set to track on Friday. The current timing of the low again looks likely to bring some snow during the afternoon commute.
