Poloncarz said Erie's death toll will likely surpass that of Buffalo's infamous blizzard of 1977, when nearly 30 people died. theSun theSundaily news BuffaloBlizzard2022 USA storm BlizzardWarning newyork

A car is abandoned along Southwestern Boulevard on December 26, 2022 in West Seneca, New York. The historic winter storm Elliott dumped up to four feet of snow on the area leaving thousands without power and twenty five confirmed dead in the city of Buffalo.

The perfect storm of fierce snow squalls, howling wind and sub-zero temperatures forced the cancellation of more than 15,000 US flights in recent days, including at least 2,600 on Monday, according to tracking site Flightaware.com. Erie County executive Mark Poloncarz told a press briefing he was “heartbroken” to report the blizzard-related death toll had climbed to 25 county-wide.

“It was gut-wrenching when you’re getting calls where families are with their kids and they’re saying they’re freezing,“ he told CNN. That number has dropped substantially, although there were still some 50,000 without electricity mid-day Monday on the US east coast.
