At least one death in Niagara County was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning, officials said. The county sheriff’s office said that a 27-year-old man was found dead in his home in Lockport, N.Y., after heavy snow blocked an external furnace and caused carbon monoxide to enter the house. Another person was taken to a hospital for treatment, the sheriff’s office said.
With the remnants of the storm beginning to move out of the region, a driving ban remained in place in Buffalo, the region’s most populous city, as well as in many of its immediate suburbs. Mr. Poloncarz said that much of Buffalo was “impassable” for drivers, and that he did not anticipate conditions changing through the day.
The snow is expected to end tomorrow morning, with between four and eight more inches expected in parts of the region, mostly concentrated north of the city during the day, before moving south overnight, said Jon Hitchcock, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
The snow is forecast to be “very fluffy,” he added, and, with very little wind in the forecast, the Buffalo region should not expect the same level of blizzard-like conditions it experienced over the weekend.
“We will have more snow, but it’s a lot lower impact than what we’ve had,” he said.
Weather officials were working on tallies to measure the storm’s impact. Mr. Hitchcock said about 49 inches had fallen at the Weather Service’s office.
