Snowfall of more than six feet (1.8m) 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.
Officials said the storm appeared to drop a record amount of snow for Erie County in a 24-hour period - up to 6 inches (15cm) per hour at times, leaving more than 50, 60 and even 70 inches over the white-out region.
Erie County recorded totals of 77 inches in the village of Orchard Park, the site of the NFL's Buffalo Bills home field. The county's prior record for snowfall in a 24-hour period - 47.5 inches - was set during a massive storm in 2014 that left more than 86 inches by its third day.
Most businesses in Orchard Park remained closed on Saturday with deep snow blanketing parking lots and entrances.
