In the UK the worry is gas: "Temperature in Altnaharra in
Scottish Highlands dips to -21C, almost on par with south
pole, as snow causes more disruption... The prolonged cold
weather, which is forecast to continue next week, has led
to companies having their gas cut off as the National Grid
tries to ensure there is enough gas for households."

Throughout the nation schools have been closed, trains
cancelled or delayed, roads impassable for days now.
My thermometer read -10C (14F) last night. And being the far
South West we're hardly supposed to get frosts!
