"Every human eye from Maine to California will be trained with a cold, cynical glare born of the 'Wolf Winter,' on the spot where old Doc Groundhog is due to emerge from his subway tomorrow, February 2, Candlemas Day, and in each good right hand a brick will be carefully concealed. Woe betide the Doc if he sees his shadow and tries to put over six weeks more of this sort of weather on us!"
"In a sweeping move to provide oil for homes and to maintain essential services throughout the city, Mayor O'Dwyer established an oil priority list late yesterday which might force non-essential industries and places of entertainment to shut down when their supply of fuel oil is exhausted. Representatives of the major oil companies have volunteered to cooperate with the city in abiding by the list. The cold wave, while somewhat abated late yesterday, is due to continue. The Weather Bureau last night forecast continued cold and snow for today with moderate northerly winds keeping the temperature in the low and middle 20s."
