It's a giant power-cut. Enough people know how to make a fire. Check out the London Riots for evidence. So the cold won't wipe them out early on.
I truly believe people will start to band together, like in any other situation where people were facing a 'common enemy'. Obviously there will be rogue elements, but the majority will be very civil for the first few days. By then the police will be organised and all that. Again, they will be alive, because it's only a giant powercut.
