New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared that this week’s three-day blizzard “will go down in history” as the worst in Buffalo’s “long, storied history” of inclement winter weather.
New York authorities have raised the official death count from four to seven people after a once-in-a-generation winter storm struck Buffalo this weekend, dumping more than three feet of snow and barraging the area with hurricane-force winds. Gov. Kathy Hochul told reporters duringSunday morning that the blizzard had stranded rescue crews, with National Guard troops deploying to assist the most severely affected parts of Erie County.
“This is a war with Mother Nature, and she has been hitting us with everything she has,” Hochul, declaring that the three-day blizzard “will go down in history” as the worst in Buffalo’s “long, storied history” of inclement winter weather. The deceased were found in cars and on the street, according to County Executive Mark Poloncarz, who warned the death toll may rise because some people have been trapped in cars for more than two days.
