neighborhood people trying to clear this away one man we spoke with saying that he is concerned that without getting rid of the snow in the middle of the street that the plows may not be able to get down here and clear out his neighborhood we ve seen main roads in better condition but then there are scenes like this in neighborhoods. this might just look like a pile of snow drift. but if you look closely, that s the side view mirror in red right there on the side of a car, which is almost entirely still submerged in snow days after this deadly storm began. we are looking at reported deaths upwards of two dozen. making this the deadliest storm in the history of this community in an area that is familiar with bad winter weather we ll have much more on this throughout the day and we ll be monitoring for updates as officials still plead with people to stay home off the roads with a travel ban still in effect in buffalo so they can get the city more reopened back to you. our thanks to jes
