In Pictures: US Snow Chaos As Heavy Snowfall kills At Least Seven People,

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has described Wednesday's snowstorm as a "historic event". In some areas it is estimated that there has been 8ft of snow

The US states of New York, New Hampshire and Michigan have been hit by heavy snowfall that has killed at least seven people, trapped many people in their homes and caused travel mayhem.


Mr Cuomo has warned that warmer weather this weekend could lead to heavy flooding when the snow melts

Though some homeowners have welcomed the predicted thaw, as they attempt to reduce the weight of the snow on their roofs

Among those affected by the storm were members of the Niagara University women's basketball team, who were stranded on board their bus in New York State for nearly 30 hours


It is likely to take days to clean up from the storm, which has been blamed for at least seven deaths
Trucks have been deployed all over the state of New York to remove the snow as the clear-up begins in earnest
