Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz addressed county residents in a briefing Saturday morning after a "very, very bad night" due to a blizzard striking the City of Buffalo and its surrounding towns. Emergency crews spent much of Friday overnight into Saturday digging each other out, and two fatalities were reported in Cheektowaga in which EMTs could not reach the people in crisis. The hardest-hit areas of the blizzard had no access to medical personnel. Video courtesy of Erie County.
