News account from New York City: "Shivering under all the extra coverings in the house, the average New Yorker woke yesterday morning [January 3], looked out of the nearest window on streets piled high with dazzling white, on encrusted rooftops and obstructed sidewalks, and then turned over with a long, lazy sigh and went to sleep again, devoutly thankful that it was Sunday and he didn't have to go out. If, however, he happened to look at the thermometer before going to sleep again, all desire for sleep left him, for the mercury was hovering perilously near the zero mark, and brought up with a start to find it so cold, he hustled around to stir up the furnace or make the janitor turn on more heat."
