President Joe Biden on Sunday approved a federal emergency declaration for nearly a dozen counties in New York after a severe winter storm buried regions in snow over the weekend.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s request for federal aid was accepted by the Biden administration for the counties Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, Erie, Genesee, Jefferson, Lewis, Niagara, Oneida, Oswego, St. Lawrence, and Wyoming after a “record-shattering historic” storm buried some of New York’s upstate communities with nearly seven feet of snow this past week.
