Millions are facing dangerously cold temperatures. BUFFALO, N.Y. - The first big snowfall of the season blanketed parts of New York , Pennsylvania and Michigan during the hectic U.S. holiday travel and shopping weekend, with numbing cold and heavy snow forecast to persist through the early part of the week and cause hazards in the Great Lakes, Plains and Midwest regions.
Nearly 2 feet of snow fell in parts of New York, Ohio and Michigan and 29 inches was recorded in Pennsylvania’s northwestern tip. “I know it’s something they’re all accustomed to and they can handle, but I want to let them know we are there with reinforcements and to make sure everyone can travel safely, especially over this really busy holiday weekend,” she said.
The city of Erie, Pennsylvania, said travel was limited to emergency responders and essential employees and cases of medical emergency until further notice due. The snow and slippery conditions resulted in stuck vehicles blocking intersections and streets. Residents were urged to shelter in place and allow crews to clear neighborhoods.
There were 27 inches of snow just northeast of Ironwood, in the Upper Peninsula’s western reaches, and another 2 feet in Munising, in the eastern area, she said.
