'I still have some potted meat, but I'm getting kind of tired of it,' said resident Ann Smith, 66, wearing a stocking cap that she takes with her to bed.

Across Kentucky, the state hardest hit by the deadly ice storm that has hobbled parts of several states for most of a week, people without power spent another day Saturday crammed into the homes of relatives and neighbors who did. Others unable or unwilling to seek shelter awaited sporadic visits from rescuers, and some still hadn't been reached.
