- Story Text: Workers cleaned up the Buffalo Niagara International Airport on Wednesday (December 28), days after a deadly Christmas blizzard that buried New York's second-largest city in blinding snow.
Several snow plows were seen shoveling snow from the airport tarmac, as aerial footage filmed on board an aircraft showed the Buffalo landscape covered in white.
The fiercest blizzard to strike western New York in 45 years was part of a wider winter storm front and arctic blast that drove freezing temperatures as far south as the Mexican border for days, leaving scores dead nationwide, including at least 38 in the Buffalo area.
As the storm's remnants tapered off to flurries early on Wednesday, the National Weather Service reported that Buffalo, ground zero of the storm, had received more than 4-1/2 feet (140 cm) of snow since late last week. But howling winds piled up drifts far higher across the region, burying hundreds of vehicles, including snow plows, ambulances, and tow trucks.
