How is colder winter weather affecting U.S. energy prices?

According to recent price data, national natural gas prices seem to be segmented by regions currently impacted by colder winter weather.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) has reported increased natural gas withdrawals from storage, partly due to colder temperatures than usual in the southern United States.
