New York: A massive snowstorm stranded motorists, cancelled flights and left seven people dead in the north-eastern US, five of them in the Buffalo area.
The National Weather Service said all 50 states experienced sub-freezing temperatures on Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to remain below normal from the Midwest to the east coast until the weekend. Some areas east and southeast of Buffalo, in northern New York, could receive a year's accumulation of snow in just three days.
A state of emergency and travel bans are in effect across Buffalo's Erie County.
National Guard units were called in to assist after crews from the New York’s transportation department worked through the night to rescue stranded motorists.
