Winter Storm Helena, the eighth named storm of the 2016-17 season, was pulling out in the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday after delivering more than a foot of snow in parts of New England after coating the South with snow and ice.

Overall, the track of Helena was a bit farther north and west than originally expected in parts of the South and East. Areas expecting more snow ended up getting more sleet and ice in the Southeast, while more moderate snow totals crept closer to parts of the I-95 corridor in New York City and Philadelphia.

The storm delayed flights, made roads treacherous and closed schools and businesses. It left bitterly cold temperatures in its wake.

Schools in the South were already canceling classes Monday because of lingering ice on roads or the unusual cold.
