Replying to @CherryGryffon
- Choose 1 room to inhabit
- Move all furniture to external walls
- Move your mattress to the center of the 1 room
- Block pets from leaving that room, put all needs in it
- If your fridge is warming up, put all perishable items in a trash bag and place outside, form snow around

- If you have plants, move them in the room with you
- If you have a small space heater, move it in that room with you
- Hang thick blankets or large towels in all the windows
- If a sunny day arrives before power, open curtains when sun hits directly, then put back up

Your body heat will warm that room if you remain in ONLY that room.
You want to use anything you can to add insulation between you, and the outside. Hence covering and blocking all floors, windows, and walls.
Now isn't the time to have a clean house, it's the time to survive.

Late addition thanks to a friend of mine:

If you have, or can get, bubble wrap, tape that to all windows, as it creates a kind of double insulation!
