A Hard Winter

[Tarrel]

Great idea about setting up the tent in the house.

I didn't mention water in the scenario, as I imagine it would keep running. The problems cited in the scenario are caused by restrictions of electricity to domestic and commercial customers. I imagine that essential services, e.g. pumping stations, would be preserved. One thing that could prevent this would be social unrest preventing maintenance or repairs being carried out. I could be wrong though.

I suppose the bottom line is that water is such an essential item to survival that it needs to be provisioned, even though the risks of supply failure are low in this scenario.
