The historic, monster snowstorm that battered areas near Buffalo, New York, with up to seven feet of snow was finally expected to ease on Friday, NBC News reported. It has been blamed for 12 deaths. Residents aren’t ready to breathe easy, as the looming threat of rain and higher temperatures through the weekend and into the coming week raised the possibility of floods and the specter of roofs collapsing under the heavy loads. States of emergency were in effect for 10 New York counties.
