A battering winter storm has knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of homes homes and businesses across the United States on Saturday. The storm unleashed its full fury on Buffalo, New York, with hurricane-force winds causing whiteout conditions. Deep snow, single-digit temperatures and day-old power outages sent Buffalo residents scrambling Saturday to get out of their houses to anywhere that had heat. Last month, areas just south of the city saw a record 6 feet of snow (about 1.8 meters) from a single storm.
