US struggles under eight feet of snow

Sunshine greeted residents of New York state in the United States today, giving crews a chance to haul away some of the eight feet of snow that has fallen in parts of the region during the past week.

The National Weather Service said the bands of lake-effect snow fed by moisture from Lake Ontario would continue weaving up and down the lake’s eastern shore during the weekend, dropping two to four more feet of snow with winds of up to 25 mph.
