NBC News - Nightly and MSNBC - Major Storm: Winter Arrives Early in Buffalo Area

First Call UPLinks was called to cover an early winter storm in the Western New York area. Wet, heavy snow blanketed Buffalo and its Northern suburbs. More than 300,000 were without power due to the storm. A state of emergency was in effect across the region, banning all nonessential travel. Branches and power lines lay draped across cars and houses, and normally busy downtown streets were still, blanketed by up to two feet of snow.

Crew included Hoss Warner, Harvey Marshall and Dan Sack.
