Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., listen to the concerns of an elderly Buffalo resident staying at the Edward Saunders Community Center in Buffalo, N.Y. Saturday, Oct. 14, 2006. A rare early October snowstorm dumped a record 8 inches Thursday, downing tree limbs and toppling power lines, leaving more than 155,000 customers without electricity.

(AP) - Four days after the record-setting snowstorm hit, nearly 200,000 homes and businesses remained without power, and a carbon monoxide poisoning from a generator was blamed for three deaths, officials said Monday.

At least three other people died earlier in the storm, which dumped up to two feet of heavy snow on Buffalo and surrounding areas Thursday and Friday.

Some community warming centers were filled to capacity Monday as about 195,000 remained in the dark, Mayor Byron Brown said. About 380,000 people originally lost power in the storm.
