NEW YORK, November 21 (Sputnik) – The US National Weather Service has warned that snowfall may continue in the northwest of the country on Friday, following blizzards that have claimed 10 lives and caused roofs to collapse.
"Another round of heavy lake-effect snow is forecast for the Great Lakes through mid-day Friday. An additional 30 inches or more could fall in some locations, on top of the impressive amounts that have fallen already," the government agency said in a statement.
"This will result in very difficult or nearly impossible travel at times in the heaviest snow bands. The snow should taper off during the morning on Friday."
Snowstorms have been blamed for at least 10 deaths in western New York, mostly from heart attacks and exposure to extreme temperatures. Some of those who died were shoveling piles of snow from properties.
The city of Buffalo was estimated to have received as much snow in three days as it normally gets in a year. The snow was estimated to be almost 8ft deep in some areas of the city.
