MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Arctic weather brought more misery to much of the United States on Saturday, especially for people unaccustomed to such bitter cold in places like Memphis, Tennessee, where residents were urged to boil water and some had no water at all after freezing temperatures broke water mains across the city. Temperatures weren’t expected to rise until after the weekend.

Winter storms this month claimed at least 67 lives around the United States, many involving hypothermia or road accidents.
