Winter Fun Scenario

[Scythe13]

With this year being El Nino, we could well be looking at a gloriously hot, or cold, winter. Summer has been more than bizarre! Even myself and Sunna would agree on this matter. So what about for winter? If it's a really hot winter, no issue. We all live and get on with a very late Autumn, leading to a very early Spring. Maybe we get a month of cold, but nothing more. Oh dear (please note the sarcasm).

Now, what about if we end up with a perfect storm of crap cold weather? I'll put this through as 3 scenarios to answer. Please answer in the format:
1. I would…..blar blar.
2. I would…blar blar.
3. I would Blar Blar.
4. I would Blar blar.
Please note, If you do literally just answer saying blar blar, then you're retarded (this will catch out all the people whom answer a thread before reading it properly). Oh and if you think, Scythe13, you idiot, you said 4 scenarios, but answered 4, the forth scenario is your answer to what you would do if all 3 happened at once! So let's get read for the fun. Temperatures have dropped to well below freezing, there's constantly a few feet of snow on the ground, and thankfully your roof is holding up. Worst of all, it's only mid December, and it's forecast to be the same through Jan and Feb.

1. Water system Shutdown.
With the weather being as cold as it is, a load of water pipes have cracked all over the country, and massive areas have been shut off and left without water. Baths have been banned (like a hosepipe ban). Showers are allowed, but good luck getting water for that. You're lucky to even fill the kitchen sink with the mere trickle that is literally bleeding the water pipes dry. What do you do?

2. Gas system Shutdown.
With the weather this cold, there's a massive uptake in the gas use for every home in the UK, and the government is needing to import a load more gas. Only issue is, you have about 1 more day of gas, and at least a week without gas, before more is brought in. So what can you do? No central heating! No hot water! Nothing to cook on! Think about those long cold nights. All that food and water stored in the loft that will freeze, expand, break it's seal, and leak in the spring. What do you do?

3. Electric System Shutdown.
Well, that crazy man preaching about power outages, yes that's right, our own BigPaul, turns out to be correct. As it turns out, increasing a countries use of electricity, while decreasing it's production, isn't sustainable. Because winter is so vicious, everyone is buying those in home electrical heater things. They've been a treat…but now they've caused electricity shortages worse than expected. Whole regions of the country have been shutdown without power. Some of the more rural areas have been out of power for a few weeks, so the odds of your home getting power within 2 weeks is looking slim. TPTB are getting old power stations up and running, but they could take a month until fully operational. What would you do?

Scenario 4…read above, stop being a silly goose. Bang Bang Bang! Stuff's really gone wrong now.
