we went through an ice storm in Spokane back in '95 or '97. It sucked. sub zero weather and power out for days. We had a gas fireplace in the small living room. We sealed off the LR with insulated truck blankets (like moving vans use) and moved the king mattress onto the floor. The three of us stayed there. Pretty toasty as in sweaters. Since the water heater was gas we had hot water. Maxed the temerature and was able to use it straigt out of the tap for instant soup, coffee, and coco , not so great - but close - for ramen. Did make the mistake of taking a hot shower. It felt great but the condensation practically froze to the walls.
