With fuel prices rising the way they have, if we do have a big freeze it is going to cause untold problems for the elderly especially.
Do you think fuel companies should cap their prices for the elderly in this type of scenario if it happens?

It does bring to mind the thought of natural selection, we all have to go sometime.
A lot of deaths happen after Christmas but that has more to do with making it through the season rather than the weather.

Having said that, I don't want to see poor little old ladies or men die of the cold!

I live in a warm part of the UK that is full of old people, very few if any die from the cold in fact there's a surge at certain times of the year. The onset of summer kills far more, look at France last year.

Yeah, I love it. Especially snow.
I like all the seasons, when they're doing what they're supposed to.

A retirement town? Our summer's aren't really that hot are they?

And our winters aren't that cold. There are seasons for when people pass away and it's not really reliant on the weather.
Social factors seem more prevalent and of course the flu season is significant.

Is it just hype that more old people die in cold winters?
