We recently moved from RI and our natural gas bill in the winter months swallowed up the majority of our disposable income. It was insane how expensive it was and if you happened to run out during a storm and need a fill up of your tank, that was another outrageous bill. That is one of the few things I don't miss about New England. With the shift of the jet stream due to warming artic air, you can surely expect many more brutal winters to come to New England.
