We have been living with -10 to -19 C weather lately. No power outages, but for the last year use wood to heat one large space of our house and keep the rest at about 15 C with our furnace. If we were to lose power, the wood stove would keep us pretty warm--though the blower wouldn't work. We go through about a cord over late autumn, winter, and early spring and it saves us close to $800 USD over the season. OUCH! We have been living with -10 to -19 C weather lately.

Our gas fireplace still functioned too, and we could run the stove. Its made me consider buying a generator, though! Power came on about 12 noon yesterday, so it wasn’t so bad.

I hope you have power now. Too bad you converted your fireplace to gas. The city still has not cleaned our street since last weekend's snowstorm, but our power was not out. There are some places in our area where the power lines are down and have not been fixed yet. How are you managing with heat and cooking? Much love, Ma My profound sympathies!!!
