  • Story Text:Bulldozers were clearing snow from the streets of Buffalo following the deadly Christmas blizzard that dropped about 55 inches of snow (140 cm) on New York's second largest city.
    About 75 front-end loaders were working around the clock to shovel tons of snow into about 120 dump trucks to be hauled to four city and county lots.
    The storm, driven by an arctic blast, brought freezing temperatures as far south as the Mexican border, leaving scores dead nationwide including 34 in Buffalo and surrounding Erie County and one in Niagara County.
    Buffalo City Mayor Byron Brown said that a driving ban is still in effect in the city, but that roads are being cleared and power restored as temperatures were warming.
    Erie County's chief executive Mark Poloncarz said more dead could be found during the door-to-door wellness checks in neighborhoods that were without power for extended periods during the storm.
    Some of those who died in the storm in New York were found frozen in cars, others in snowbanks, while some died in medical emergencies such as cardiac arrest while shoveling snow.
