More than 60 people have so far died across the US as a massive snowstorm sweeps through states. Thousands of flights were cancelled, and power outages were reported across several areas. The military police in Buffalo have enforced a driving ban within the city. The severe winter storm in the United States has so far claimed more than 60 lives across the nation. A total of 62 people have been reported dead across different parts of the country, with Buffalo being the worst hit. Even in central Florida, temperatures plunged as low as 27 degrees (minus 2.7 Celsius) over the weekend. In Buffalo, the dead were found in cars, homes, and snowbanks. Some people perished while shovelling snow, others died when emergency crews could not respond in time to medical crises. Poloncarz, a Democrat, called the blizzard "the worst storm probably in our lifetime," even for an area known for heavy snow. More bodies are expected to be found as the snow is cleared or melts. The winter blast stranded some people in cars for days, shuttered the city’s airport, and left some residents shivering without heat. More than 4,000 homes and businesses were still without power late Tuesday morning. The rest of the United States was also reeling, with at least an additional two dozen storm deaths reported elsewhere around the country and power outages in communities from Maine to Washington state.
