Gas Crisis

They also sent out notices in the utility bills warning of crazy high costs this winter and so far my bills have been pretty normal.

What you all are missing is that at this time most electricity is generated by Natural Gas and the severe cold snap increased the need for gas both for direct heating and for gas to produce electricity for heating. That is why ConEd also sent out emails to Brooklyn residents to lower thermostats and even had Notify NYC call everyone in the five boroughs with the alert. I believe the utilities also required commercial and large residential buildings with dual fuel systems to switch from gas to oil during the cold snap.
