TEHRAN, Dec. 28 (MNA) – Residents in the US city of Buffalo hunted for cars buried in snow drifts and looked for more victims after 34 people died in one of the worst weather-related disasters ever to hit western New York.

State and military police have now been mobilised to keep people off Buffalo's snow-covered roads as officials continue to count the fatalities after one of the most deadly storms recorded in two generations.
