The city of Buffalo is seeing one of the most extreme blizzards in its history, bringing dangerous winter weather to upstate New York amid the holiday weekend. | The extreme winter storm that's plagued much of the country this week brought blizzard warnings and "very heavy lake effect snow" to the Buffalo area, spawning deadly conditions amid the busy holiday travel period. The blizzard has left people stranded on the road with zero visibility and led to thousands of power outages in the area. The storm has already shattered the area's daily snowfall record, with 22.3 inches on Friday, the National Weather Service said. The old record for the date was 12.6 inches in 1976. The latest: Another band of heavy snow is set to slam the Buffalo area Saturday afternoon, heightening fears about drivers stranded on impassable roads with zero invisibility.
■ Blizzard conditions are expected to descend on the city of Buffalo around 4pm and will last into the evening, the NWS warned.
