If we got hit with a major cold snap we would be in trouble.
This cold weather won't last long. We did have month of reallly cold weather a few years ago . It was in the teens. My pipes stay coverd with all the cold fronts coming in. I do not have a generator so I guess I would charge my cell phone with the car. We would be in a world of hurt if we had really cold ice storm. I have have heat. Water if the pipes don't freeze. I have a gas stove for cooking. Just need a match. I have a wood burning stove at the other house. A lot of the new houses are all electric. People would freeze here. We are made for heat here. AC is more important then heat.
