That's infuriating!

I think natural gas and propane are different though.

LOL!!

As a matter of fact (as you already know)the deep south is under a winter
storm watch for tomorrow thru Wednesday. It's 60 degrees here right now
so I don't know if they know what they're talkin bout! But, anyway, they've already cancelled school and most work for Tuesday AND Wednesday
and not even a hint of a snowflake around!!!

I really do hope they are wrong about this sleet and snow they've
predicted for us though!

Yeah that sleet/ice and snow pretty much shuts down the south.
We just are not used to it and most places don't even have
the equipment to keep the roads clear.

I never realized that snow helps with gardening.

You're right they are different. Duh! Lol... but, natural gas is a valuable resource and its sad to see it being burnt away without finding a way to make it usable!

I'm pretty far down south, but they are predicting snow and sleet for our area. We are never prepared for extreme cold, because it rarely comes, so we do not keep warm clothes, boots, jackets and hats on hand. We don't know how to drive in the snow, so bridges are usually closed to prevent accidents from happening. Stay warm all you who are going to be affected by the Arctic Blast. I'm so thankful that have a very warm home.

Yes, I sent that to my husband and he said natural gas prices are way up too. We are running our space heaters more and turned our thermostat down.....it's going to cost less to run electricity than propane for a while....

We also use propane gas for our heaters and hot water.
I bought 75 gallons a few weeks ago and it was close to
$200. Normally lasts us a good while but since we're having
these really cold days, we're using more. We also use a
couple of space heaters that work pretty good in the bedrooms.
