Winter storm has left 27 people dead in western New York state alone
BUFFALO, N.Y. — The death toll from a pre-Christmas blizzard that paralyzed the Buffalo area and much of the country has risen to 27 in western New York, authorities said Monday, as the region dug out from one of the worst weather-related disasters in its history.
“ Buffalo, N.Y., was experiencing its longest sustained blizzard conditions ever, said New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a native Buffalonian. ” The National Weather Service said Sunday that the frigid arctic air “enveloping much of the eastern half of the U.S.” would move away slowly. Two people died in their suburban Cheektowaga, N.Y., homes Friday when emergency crews could not reach them in time to treat medical conditions. Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz said 10 more people died there during the storm, including six in Buffalo, and warned there may be more dead.
