Buffalo City Snow

Residents of western New York may soon have to worry about the water in their basements as well as the snow on their roofs.

The death toll rose to 13 today from a rare pre-winter snowstorm in western New York state where rising temperatures and heavy weekend rain is now likely to cause flooding.

A new blast of lake-effect snow pounded the New York state city of Buffalo on Thursday, piling more misery on a city already buried by an epic, deadly snowfall that could leave some areas with more than 8 feet (2.4 meters) of snow on the ground when it's all done.

A huge lake-effect snow storm paralyzed the upstate city of Buffalo on Tuesday, forcing state police on snowmobiles to deliver blankets to stranded motorists on the main highway across New York state on a wintry day when temperatures fell to freezing or below in all 50 states.
