In SE Wisconsin, my power stayed on (stray outages across the state), but the real fear was a natural gas shortage last night. Supply dropped something like 30% due to a pipeline problem and our energy company asked us all to conserve and turn the heat down. On a day where it didn't get above 0°F, the thought of a cascading, regional heat failure was terrifying.
