Cruel Winter Weather Continues to Pound Northern US

Brutal winter weather continues to pound northern parts of the U.S., from lightning and thunder to feet of snow piling up in areas like Michigan all the way to western New York.

Ten people have died in Buffalo, New York, mainly from heart attacks and exposure.

Snow has fallen at 2 to 4 inches per hour, piling up to around 8 feet in some areas. Now some people can't get into their homes.

"My wife has cerebral palsy. I'm trying to get into the house…at least get to her," one resident said.

But others must get out, with the heavy snow causing ceilings to cave in.

With the roof of a nursing home in jeopardy, residents had to be evacuated and carried to safety.

A nearby warehouse already caved in overnight and there have been rescues by snow machine, with one person brought out in a stretcher.

People are using shovels and cranes to clear their rooftops before the damage is done.

"I know I gotta get up there and shovel, otherwise this roof's gonna come down," one resident said.

Meanwhile, despite the work of determined fans to clear the snow from the stadium of the Buffalo Bills, Sunday's game will be played in Detroit, not at home.

When the snow does stop and temperatures warm up, melting snow could cause more problems, putting even more weight on rooftops.

There's also the potential for flooding.

New York Gov. Andres Cuomo has asked people to stay off the roads.
