Extremely mild temperatures for the eastern half of the country with numerous high population centers that were NOT using much natural gas for residential home heating.

We should have an early season injection!!! Maybe the biggest one for so early in the season?

NGI estimates a 42 Bcf storage build for the week ending March 13, marking a shift toward early-season injections and coming in well above both last year’s 1 Bcf build and the five-year average withdrawal of 29 Bcf.
