President Biden is approving New York's emergency declaration request as a deadly winter storm slams the western part of the state. In doing so, the administration ordered federal assistance to aid state and local response efforts. At least 28 people have died in and around Buffalo, where more than 40 inches of snow left vehicles stranded and people trapped over the holiday weekend. Local officials have called it a "once in a generation" weather event. The brutal storm was also felt nationwide, with more than 50 people dead across numerous states.
