(CNN) A powerful winter storm system delivered heavy snow across the Northeast, blanketing much of Pennsylvania, New York and New England and creating slick road conditions across the region Thursday. Those living in and around New York City, Philadelphia and Boston woke to generally between 6 to 12 inches of snow, and snow continued to fall through the morning. The NWS office in Binghamton, New York, tallied nearly 40 inches of snow, their largest total since records began in 1951. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced all school buildings would be closed Thursday and in-person learning was canceled. Powerful wind gusts -- of about 55 to 65 mph -- from Delaware to New Jersey caused minor damage, CNN meteorologist Michael Guy said.
