A ferocious storm dumped massive piles of snow on parts of
upstate New York, trapping residents in their homes and stranding motorists on
roadways, as temperatures in all 50 states fell to freezing or below. Some parts of upstate New York in the Buffalo
area got six feel of snow, and more is expected in the next 2 days. The storm
was also blamed for four deaths.
Residents were ordered to stay in their homes, but some
people were even stranded in their vehicles.
A women's basketball team was trapped in their bus for 17 hours before
they were rescued. The storm has created
an emergency situation for rescue vehicles since they were not able to get
through the blocked roads. A warm-up is
expected this weekend which could trigger flooding. Heavy snow is common in cities near the Great
Lakes like Buffalo, although this storm was unusual.
