Buffalo snowstorm: Driving ban reimposed in city's south after being "incredibly hard-hit"

The mayor of Buffalo, N.Y. re-imposed a no-driving ban Friday for South Buffalo after a lake-effect snow storm hit western New York.

Mayor Byron Brown said South Buffalo has been hit hard, and the snow is still coming down, so that required him to re-impose a driving ban in the southern portion of the city.

As of Friday morning, a dangerous lake-effect snowstorm has paralyzed parts of western and northern New York, with more than a foot of snow already on the ground in places.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency Thursday for parts of western New York, including communities along the eastern ends of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Hochul’s state of emergency covers 11 counties, with commercial truck traffic banned from a stretch of Interstate 90.
