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.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul called in the National Guard, deploying about 70 members to help with snow removal in the hardest-hit parts of Erie County.

Erie County, which has felt the brunt of the snowfall, recorded totals of 77 inches in Orchard Park, N.Y., the site of the NFL's Buffalo Bills home field. Squalls began blowing in from Lake Erie and Lake Ontario on Thursday to produce the region's first major snowstorm of the season, more than a month before the start of winter.Nearly three feet of snow had fallen at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where many flights were canceled on Saturday. Buffalo, the second-largest city in New York, was placed back under a travel ban on Saturday morning.

"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."Stranded cars are seen on the street during a snowstorm as extreme winter weather hits Buffalo, New York, U.S., November 19, 2022.
