Frigid temperatures contributed to four deaths Sunday, pushing the toll to 19 from a devastating storm of ice and snow as hundreds of thousands waited another day for their electricity to be restored.

Two men, ages 37 and 35, died after they tried to burn coal in a cooking wok to stay warm. Fire officials found deadly levels of carbon monoxide in their home.
