US President Joe Biden

Joe Biden (Joseph Robin Biden) is an American politician. Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942 in approved federal aid to the state of New York after the snowstorm that killed at least 27 people in the Buffalo area and left tens of thousands people without power, the White House said in a statement, cited by Reuters.

Many cars were covered in snow and abandoned, and buses and caravans were blocked on roads in western New York state, a local official said, quoted by DPA.

He said driving bans were still in effect because of the three-foot snow, freezing temperatures and hurricane-force winds, adding that the city of Buffalo was impassable.

The state's governor, Cathy Hawkel, expressed regret on Sunday for the "unfortunate" loss of life from the storm.

A state of emergency was declared in the state a few days ago, but the storm blocked the work of rescuers, writes BTA.

38 dead in US and Canada winter storms

More than 40 people have died so far in the US this winter due to winter storms and freezing temperatures, reaching double-digit minus values ​​in some places, DPA said.

Weather-related cancellations and flight delays wreaked havoc on US air traffic over the Christmas holiday, with Southwest Airlines accounting for the most cancellations.

A total of more than 3,800 U.S. flights were canceled today, including 2,800 on Southwest Airlines, which is nearly 70 percent of the airline's total flight schedule for today.

The Dallas-based airline, one of the world's largest low-cost carriers, said its schedule problems would continue at least until next New Year's weekend.
