<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 6430014, member: 106826&quot;]Hang in there and stay as warm as possible.&nbsp; Leave the water on a drip to keep the water flowing through the pipes.&nbsp; Be careful with the candles; they can be a hazard with bulky clothing, etc.&nbsp; If it&#039;s any consolation, I&#039;m in the 4th densely populated state in the nation with no choice in service (we call it Neversource).&nbsp; I have a generator because the grid I&#039;m on, the smallest in my town, gets prioritized close to last/last for restoration regularly.&nbsp; I&#039;ve lost power nearly 60 times in the past 10 years, sometimes for 8-12 days.&nbsp; About 4 years ago, we lost power due to a freak snowstorm in October.&nbsp; Cold nights for sure with a bed of snow on the ground.</p><p><br /></p><p>I saw something interesting that folks do when trying to generate heat.&nbsp; They build a small &#039;firepit&#039; out of leftover bricks and tiles inverting a terracotta pot on top of the bricks.&nbsp; then arrange a few small candles under it to catch the heat and let it radiate out to the surroundings.&nbsp; I thought that was a neat idea for camping...but folks doing that in the home on the hearth or the like to keep warm.&nbsp; I&#039;ll take a look to see if I can find a link to that idea I saw the other day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
