The Public Schools Branch and French School Board announced schools would open one hour later than normal Thursday.

Holland College campuses across P.E.I. opened at 10 a.m., and UPEI opened at 9:30 with classes starting at 10.

Unofficially, the snowfall at Charlottetown Airport was 21 centimetres as of 6 a.m. Thursday, and snow was continuing to fall lightly on the Island.

Dispatchers say there is little to no wind, so drifting and whiteouts are not an issue.
