    At least 20 people have died from the wintry weather wreaking havoc across the U.S. over Christmas weekend.

    The highest number of fatalities are in upstate Erie County, New York, which encompasses Buffalo, where seven deaths were reported.

    Buffalo initiated a travel ban as blizzard conditions moved in. Buffalo’s airport will be closed until Tuesday.

    This storm marked the first time in history that the Buffalo Fire Department couldn’t respond to any calls, officials said. Crews will be out on the roads on Christmas trying to reach anyone still stranded, officials said.
