New York Governor Kathy Hochul held a news conference as the deep freeze from a deadly winter storm that walloped much of the U.S. continues into the week. On Monday morning, authorities from Erie County confirmed that the total death toll of snow-related fatalities has risen to 25 across the area.

Over the holidays, people in western New York dealt with massive snow drifts that snarled emergency vehicles and travellers across the country see cancelled flights and dangerous roads.

The massive storm has killed at least 34 people across the U.S. and is expected to claim more lives after trapping some residents inside houses and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes and businesses.

The extreme weather stretched from the Great Lakes near Canada to the Rio Grande along the border with Mexico. About 60% of the U.S. population faced some sort of winter weather advisory or warning, and temperatures plummeted drastically below normal from east of the Rocky Mountains to the Appalachians.
