NOAA forecasts seven more inches for tonight in W MI. longship Feb 2013 #35

I would be hoping you have a wood stove? That's great for power outages. freshwest Feb 2013 #90

Fireplace. But it sucks more warm air up the chimney than it puts out. longship Feb 2013 #99

Take care with the propane and oil lamps. I wish you could get a woodstove to put at the chimney. freshwest Feb 2013 #105

Well, there's always the furniture. ;-) nt longship Feb 2013 #113
