As the sun rose over Christopher Morley Park in Nassau County heavy-duty trucks were parked in preparation to help those in western New York after a winter storm paralyzed the area.
Governor Kathy Hochul said the conditions are so bad that emergency responders have not been able to help and almost every fire truck in the city of Buffalo was stranded, putting the city to a halt.In a storm briefing on Sunday evening, Hochul said that the storm had surpassed the blizzard of 1977 in terms of ferocity and longevity.
The National Weather Service said the snow total at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport stood at 43 inches at 7 a.m. Sunday. More snow is expected to fall until Tuesday.If more help is needed the Blackman said that he'll send another team later this week. The heavy equipment will help workers navigate through the snow and ice that's piled up from this weekend.
"The argo vehicle is an 8-by-8 vehicle," Nassau County Emergency Management Comissioner Richard Corbett said. "It can go on land and in the water, it floats. It's mostly going to be used for transporting and supporting the humanitarian mission. What it's going to do mostly is help people from there houses and get help first responders get to certain places."
Despite this being a dangerous mission, the county volunteers are bringing a relief that is much needed this holiday season.
