A snowplough was put to the test against more than six feet of snow in Lancaster, Eerie county, on November 19, after a massive snow storm pummelled the state beginning November 17.

On Friday November 21, Governor Andrew Cuomo sent 375 National Guard members, 425 pumps and generators, 55 boats, three helicopters, 29 high-axle vehicles for water rescue, and 180,000 sand bags to Buffalo, New York, to help with the aftermath of the snow storm that hit Buffalo and surrounding areas in Erie County


On Friday, Cuomo urged residents to prepare for the risk of flooding as warmer temperatures were expected over the weekend. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown said state workers and the National Guard have removed over 35,000 tons of snow out of south Buffalo. Credit: Facebook/Roxann Murphy Esford
