At least 29 people died as relentless winter storm brought Christmas Day danger and misery to millions of Americans with intense snow, frigid cold gripped parts of the eastern United States
The Buffalo storm is"the worst of the worst," says New York Governor, where 2.4-metre snow drifts against front doors and power outages in freezing temperatures made for life-threatening conditions.
The Buffalo storm is "a crisis of epic proportion" and "the worst of the worst," said New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a native of Buffalo, where eight-foot snow drifts against front doors and power outages in freezing temperatures have made for life-threatening conditions. While large swathes of the country have begun shovelling out from the massive storm and temperatures in some locations were returning to seasonal normality, Buffalo remained in the grips of "a major disaster," a senior official said Sunday.
One couple in Buffalo, across the border from Canada, told AFP Saturday that with the roads completely impassible, they would not be making a 10-minute drive to see their family for Christmas.
