I think that the news media has thrown people into a near panic for no good reason and there are those that have made a fortune off of that fear. I have heard that they will even close the airport in Chicago. If anything happens it will be from people that want to "leave their mark" that night. I would be more worried about vandalism than anything. I think that the biggest thing that could happen is that some people may lose electricity for a few hours or in some remote places maybe even a day or two. We have have some pretty bad winters here in Ohio and I have a gas camp cook stove and a gas camp heater. I also have a gas grill. That is the extent of my preparation for Y2K, too. Just like any other winter.
