天气预报说,纽约州布法罗市星期四会有1米以上的降雪。两天前一场1.5米的大雪几乎将布法罗封锁。人们被困在家里。纽约州一条高速公路上的开车人更是动弹不得。

天气预报说,这次降雪量将相当于布法罗通常一个冬天的降雪量。

已经证实有7个人死于跟这场暴风雪有关的原因,其中一人死在被雪埋没的汽车里,另外4人死于心脏问题。

纽约州州长科莫宣布10个县进入紧急状态。他星期三告诉记者说,这可能是一场破纪录的暴风雪。

Forecasters say up to one more meter of snow is expected to fall Thursday on Buffalo, New York, two days after the city was literally buried by a massive winter storm. The new snow will add to the 1.5 meters of snow that left residents trapped in their homes and motorists stranded in their vehicles along a long stretch of the New York State Thruway.  

Forecasters say the eventual snowfall totals will be as much as the city usually gets during an entire winter.  

Seven people have now been confirmed dead in connection with the storm, including a man found dead in his car buried under the snow.  Four other people died of heart-related causes.  

Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency in 10 counties in the western New York region.  Mr. Cuomo told reporters Wednesday this could be a record-breaking snowfall "when all is said and done."
