Snowfall of more than 6 feet in western New York state prompted local officials on Saturday to further restrict road travel and forced airlines to cancel flights in the Buffalo area, just ahead of the busy Thanksgiving holiday week.
The roof of a long-time bowling alley in Hamburg collapsed under the weight of the snow, she added.
"This has been a very unpredictable storm with the snow bands moving, back and forth, north to south," Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown told CNN. "The snow has come down very fast, very wet, very heavy." County officials warned people to stay off roads to keep clear for snow removal crews. Poloncarz said some communities could see driving bans lifted later by Saturday evening.
