Providing shelter, food and water to help people during this disaster.  Heavy snow is expected to keep falling in western New York state through Sunday after a historic storm saw the Buffalo area logging record snowfall totaling more than 6 feet in some areas. While the Buffalo area is used to dealing with heavy snowfall, this storm is delivering “much more. Erie County, which includes Buffalo, experienced its largest-ever amount of snowfall in a 24-hour period Saturday. Snowvember refers to a storm in the Buffalo area in November 2014, where nearly 7 feet of snow was dumped in three days. At least 13 people died in that storm and the weight of the snow caused dozens of roofs to crumble under the impact. Two people have died in this storm from cardiac complications related to shoveling snow and attempting to clear the ground.  As the heaviest snow slid south of the greater Buffalo area into southern Erie and Chautauqua counties overnight, an additional 6 to 18 inches is possible in the region.

Providing shelter, food and water. A powerful nor'easter has left more than 100,000 people in the dark on Saturday afternoon as the snowstorm continues to impact the East Coast. Today customers were without power in Massachusetts and New York State as a result of the nor'easte.  Massachusetts accounted for most of the power outages, with 123,231 customers without power, compared with 11,342 in New York. Nearly 10 million people living on the East Coast were at risk of losing power in the historic storm. The states are under blizzard warnings and officials there declared states of emergency and instructed residents not to travel. Snowfall rates of 1-to-3 inches per hour were reportedly expected through the morning from the Delmarva Peninsula into much of New Jersey, New York City, Long Island. 

Providing support to Officer Jason Rivera's family and Officer Wilbert Mora's Family. A New York City police officer was gunned down and another left fighting for his life after a man opened fire on them in a Harlem apartment Friday evening, officials said. Officer Jason Rivera, 22, was killed and a second officer was in critical condition, police said. The second officer was identified by the NYPD as Wilbert Mora, 27. They were the fourth and fifth New York Police Department officers shot this year. The pair were responding to a 911 call about a woman having a dispute with her son at 6:15 p.m., police said. When they arrived, the woman and one son were at the front of the apartment. The two officers were fired upon without warning when they went down a narrow hallway to the rear bedroom where the suspect was, police added. As the first officer approached the bedroom, the door swings open and numerous shots are fired, striking both officers, Harlem Hospital. The suspect, Lashawn Mcneil, 47, was then shot in the arm and head by a third office.

Disaster relief providing shelter, food and water. Another storm is barreling through the South Friday, bringing freezing rain, sleet and snow to some areas already hit hard by winter weather. In North Carolina, where residents were just hit by a winter storm last weekend, Gov. Roy Cooper has issued another state of emergency, due to snow, sleet, freezing rain and ice, bringing more treacherous roads and power outages. Cooper warned, we expect significant power outages from this storm in our southeastern counties, including the cities of Wilmington, Jacksonville and New Bern. That’s where a quarter inch or more of ice is expected on trees and power lines, and that’s a recipe for power outages.
