    Heat kills more people especially these days. Only time cold seems to kill in winters where I live is if someone goes without power for a considerable amount of time, so their furnace or wood stove circulation fans don’t run.

    I think a while ago our county and later state passed laws to where power and gas companies can’t shut customers off for non-payment during the winter. They have to wait until spring to shut off someone who hasn’t been paying.
