(CNN) -- The major snowstorm that pelted much of the Northeast will taper off Thursday but still many schools and government offices and even some airport runways could remain closed. On Wednesday the National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings that stretched from the southern Appalachian mountains to coastal Massachusetts. All of those warnings were due to expire early Thursday morning. Even though that storm only stayed for a day, it caused major issues in some areas. And some areas recieved record snowfall, according to the National Weather Service. In New York's Central Park, a record 12.3 inches of snow fell Wednesday, beating a day record set in 1871, the weather service said. Newark set a record 11 inches and Philadelphia also set a record 14.2 inches, the weather service said. In Philadelphia, schools and administrative offices were to be closed Thursday as Mayor Michael Nutter declared a snow emergency.
