Road and utility crews faced the task on Monday of digging out and restoring some normalcy around Buffalo, New York, where a blizzard considered the area's worst in 45 years buried snow plows, stranded motorists in cars and killed at least 13 people.
Dec 26 - A powerful blizzard that paralyzed western New York over Christmas weekend has killed at least 25 people, Erie county officials said on Monday, as road and utility crews faced a long day of digging out the snowed-in region around Buffalo.
More deaths had been reported, Poloncarz said, but the county medical examiner was trying to determine if they were directly attributable to the weather. The greater Buffalo region, lying at the edge of Lake Erie near the Canadian border, was one of the hardest-hit places.
