Stunning images have emerged showing frozen scenes in Buffalo, New York, and Niagara Falls following a deadly Christmas weekend winter storm that swept through the region.
In Buffalo, where a driving ban remains in effect Wednesday, drone footage has captured homes, businesses and streets blanketed with snow.
At least 27 people have been confirmed dead in the city following the weekend blast of snow and ice, which brought hazardous whiteout conditions for those who ventured outside.

The falls themselves were spared from the deep freeze as an estimated 3,160 tons of water flows over them every second.
