Cold Brings Increased Natural Gas Usage

A sprawling winter storm system continues to plague much of the nation today with ice, snow and heavy rain.

Ice storm warnings remain posted from portions of western and northern Texas northeastward to the mid-Mississippi Valley. Over the next 12 hours, the most significant icing--up to a quarter of an inch or so--seems likely from north-central and parts of northeastern Texas into eastern Oklahoma. But that's not to say that other areas under ice storm warnings won't experience problems. Even freezing drizzle can be extremely dangerous on roads.
