We're so helpless these daysFollow
Invest in a generator instead of a bunch of little gas operated only stuff that you won't make use of that often. I heat/cook with gas, so as long as I have enough to power up the controls and the ignition I'm ok.
Can't sleep, clown will eat me.
Or you could just not live up north.
We were out of power from last Monday morn til last night. Just go internet back today. We have big generator. Our inconveniences were avoiding using the oven and limiting showers (we've had six adults in the house all week). We had lots of food and warmed a few visitors that weren't as fortunate. It was a nice holiday. The icing on the trees and whatnot was pretty spectacular when all was said and done. We had a really nice holiday - I was feeling pretty thankful.
Yoda, glad you and family made it through. It sucks being cold 24/7.
Merry Christmas Assylum.

Donate. One day it could be your family.

Our house is in the middle of the woods. I fell, cut, haul, split and stack all my own firewood from three acres of hardwood forest. We have a wood stove in the living room/dining room, though I try to only use it for decorative purposes (open fire for holiday dinners) or extreme conditions, like a week's worth of 0F weather and we want to save on heating oil. And of course there's always the emergency stash for when the power goes out and it's our only source of heat. That's usually no more than two or three days at the most, and I'll also be cooking on the charcoal grill. We always have candles and flashlights around. Unfortunately with my dad gone we didn't bother keeping the complete Coleman camper's set- folding gas grill, kerosene lantern, etc.

What kind of summer have you heard of? This kind of stuff never happens in my south.
Old people die of heat stroke in places like Texas and Arizona all the time. Or rather two or three a year gets reported up here.

Truly. Down south if people go outside in summer on very hot days they sizzle on the sidewalks and it gets so hot inside their skulls that their brains bake.
I'll take icy roads, downed trees and power lines and sub zero temps ANYTIME.

It's easy to get warm. You can always put on more clothing.
Eventually you run out of stuff to take off if you are trying to cool down.

It's obvious none of you have ever been south of Illinois. Sheesh.
Shit, I try not to go south of I-80.

Scared you'll become more conservative if you stray too far south?

We also have the Tobacco Terror.
You have tobacco beetles and those nasty worms. Forget what they're called but they're worse than any piddlin' Tobacco Terror.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
That's what you get for trying to live side by side with nature and not conquering it and subjecting it to your whims you filthy hippies.

If it helps it's probably so soaked in pesticides and genetically modified that it really isn't "nature" anymore.

Those pesticides were made from natural ingredients. They may not look anything like they started out looking like, but they were natural once.
Yeah, I will have to admit there's entirely too much nature going on down here.
WTF
