Apparently there was an 'unusual odor at approximately 7:30 a.m. One resident says it "smelled like a fireplace."

I was just watching the local new earlier, and this was ALL over it.

While snow would be an interesting reason, it has been pretty cold here over the past few days. Nothing out of the ordinary, but could the cold cause problems in the flow of gas through the lines?
