(CNN) Michigan is never the warmest of states in winter. During this week's brutally dangerous freeze in the Midwest -- it was 9 below zero Thursday morning in Detroit, 11 below in Hell -- Michiganders probably feel like cranking up the heat. Gretchen Whitmer asked everyone in the state's lower peninsula to turn their thermostats down to 65 degrees. A fire at Consumers Energy's Ray Natural Gas Compressor Station in suburban Detroit Wednesday shut down all gas flow from the facility. The station is responsible for about one-fifth of the state's natural gas storage supply.
