Death toll in Buffalo rises to 7 as brutal winter storm begins to ease. Temperatures across U.S. remain frigid and travel snarled.
Heavy snow, wind and whiteout conditions paralyzed Buffalo, despite the city’s
extensive equipment and experience with heavy snowfalls, and officials said the disaster may go down as the worst in the region’shistory.As the snow shifted south and winds subsided on Sunday, crews were contending with power substations that are frozen and need specialized equipment to repair, officials said in a briefing. First responders had to be rescued during the storm, and two warming centers closed after they lost power.
“It was bad, is the best way to put it, it was as bad as anyone’s ever seen,” Poloncarz said, adding that he has been in touch with the Biden administration as well as New York Gov. Kathy Hochul about obtaining additional resources. “This is a snowstorm that will never be forgotten due to the ferocity of it.”
The blast of Arctic air continued to chill much of the eastern United States, according to the National Weather Service, but is expected to weaken as it drifts east.
