[quote=Sherlock Holmes]
Some people heat their houses with propane. (In lieu of using natural gas, usually. Whether it's because natural gas isn't available in their area or because they're using a stove fueled by propane, rather than relying on oil or a wood stove to heat things.)I've heard propane prices in the south have skyrocketed -- thousands to fill up tanks now in some areas, rather than hundreds. Ridiculous.

Pretty much, yes. We ordered more last week and my dad about passed out from the price. When he called around the check for prices, the companies said they couldn't take new customers atm because of how bad the shortage was.

As for the cold, tonight should be the final drop for a while. We'll get back up to 60 by Friday and then the middle of next week, I wouldn't be surprised if we were back down to 4 degrees or colder.
