A group of neighbors gather around a fire pit on Culver Road after clearing snow in Buffalo, N.Y., Monday, Dec. 26, 2022. Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted Monday afternoon that the blizzard-related death toll had climbed to 27 across the county, including 14 people who were found outside and three who were discovered in a car. Hochul, a native of Buffalo, said she was stunned by what she saw during a reconnaissance tour of the city. At one point on Saturday, nearly 1.7 million customers were without electricity in the biting cold, according to tracker poweroutage.us. Buffalo’s international airport remains closed until Tuesday and a driving ban remained in effect for the city and much of Erie County.
