More outages possible in ice-ravaged Northeast



Just read this story online about the storm, thought this was classic Yankee:


Retired auctioneer Ed Stevens, 88, came to the same shelter Saturday after rejecting several suggestions that he do so earlier.

"I told them, 'No way!' I guess I'm too damned independent," he said.

After two days of reading the newspaper in a cold house, he gave in.

"I guess if it's between here and freezing to death in my own house, I'll take here," he said.
