Seven feet of lake effect snow are already on the ground after several days of extreme weather, New York City Governor said Friday.
Andrew Cuomo said at a storm briefing in Western New York that the city has gone through the worst in terms of snowfall, and now the issue is turning to snow removal.
The consequences of the warm weather coming to the area in the next few days, make the region especially "prone to significant flooding due to the extremely large amount of snow," he added.
The State is taking every precaution to prepare for such a case, he confirmed.
Recovery efforts are underway, he said, with the state enlisting a larger collection of snow removal equipment in the region than ever before.
Due to the winter storm, the state has assembled over 1,598 personnel and 742 pieces of heavy equipment including 538 plows, 114 loaders, 60 dump trucks and 30 snow blowers to continue to address snow removal.
According to Reuters, the death toll in western New York has risen to at least 10.
