Clinton Completes Move to New York

KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Bill Clinton, now the ex-president, has begun a new phase in his life. The Clintons departed for New York yesterday after watching the transition of power in Washington. And he awakens this morning as citizen Clinton, not President Clinton.

Deborah Feyerick has the latest from Chappaqua, New York.

Deborah, you probably could help him shovel out his driveway this morning.

DEBORAH FEYERICK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, thankfully, snowplows did come along this morning about half an hour ago, so they've taken care of that. His walkway still needs to be done, and we're not sure whether he has coffee, so that might be something we can help him with a little later on today.

But this morning, former President Clinton waking up as a private citizen, or at least more so than he was yesterday. Yesterday he did spend the day in his final hours in Washington thanking several staff members who came to say goodbye at Andrews Air Force Base. The former president, as you heard, made a short speech before flying here to his new home in New York. There were no banners, no welcoming bands, just one very small sign at the entrance to Old House Lane, which read, "Thank you, Mr. President, and welcome home," a very low-keyed arrival here in this Westchester suburb.

Now, all in all, it's really a good day to putter around the house, watch old movies, and unpack two of the moving vans that unloaded boxes and boxes yesterday. It is very snowy here, as I mentioned. Plows do take care of the driveway, but the walkway still has to be done.

There are Secret Service folks milling about. They say that it's really too difficult to navigate the roads, so it's unclear as to whether the Clintons will, in fact, leave the house. Usually they go to church on Sunday, but a spokeswoman for Senator Hillary Clinton says right now, no word on any plans as to what they will do this morning, no real movement in the house that we can see, just one small light on. So maybe they're sleeping in -- Kyra.

PHILLIPS: There you go, sleeping in and making a fire. Deborah Feyerick, thank you very much.
