| Upstate New York Gets Another Blast |
| Upstate New York Gets Another Blast of Snow

| 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.
Residents started digging out on Wednesday from a massive snowstorm blamed for seven deaths, even as another headed their way, threatening to break snowfall records.
Homeowners opened their front doors to find themselves sealed in by sheer walls of white. People were marooned at homes, on roads and at work. A woman gave birth in a firehouse after the snow prevented her from reaching the hospital.
Even for Buffalo, a city used to big blizzards blowing in from Lake Erie, this was an epic snowfall. The region found itself buried under up to 5.5 feet (1.68 meters) of snow on Wednesday, with another storm expected to bring up to 3 more feet (1 meter) by late Thursday.
"This is an historic event. When all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of records," Governor Andrew Cuomo said.

Mr Cuomo warned that a weekend warm-up could lead to significant flooding when the thick blanket of snow melts. Forecasters say rain is possible this weekend.
The storm trapped more than 100 vehicles along a 132-mile (212-kilometer) stretch of the New York State Thruway, the state's main highway that remained closed on Wednesday
