Texas made it on the news here! I was wondering if you had a grow going. Did they give you any indication how long it will last.

No way...lol. they said at one point we were colder than Alaska....lol. nothing in the grow room, been rebuilding it honestly. This last run were done outside cause of the room. They're saying tonight it will be over but by looking at the weather, I am thinkin Friday maybe late Thursday. Cause we got a new round of ice coming through tonight.

No. My house like many others are all electric.....that's what sucks. Older house's in my area have electric and gas, but the gas is separate from the house in 300gal tanks, problem with that is can't spin the fan to move the heat cause yes you guessed the fans need electricity to spin. There are a few people , not me and my dumbness, have bought generators, the put them outside and run cords inside for select things, they might be ok. For now...

Even gas furnaces now use an electric ignitor, unlike the older ones that had a pilot light. No electricity means no heat even if you figured out how to run the fan.

The best thing like some people have done, gas or dsl generators outside, plug runningbinside the house and a select few things on. Tv for reports, space heaters or heater and recharables, phone ,tablet, etc. Make sure you have plenty of fuel.

After this is over that's what we are going after....

In 2013 during the big christmas ice storm a lot of my friends hung out at my apartment. I didn't have power, but the building was heated with a boiler and it stayed warm the entire three days.

I guess trying to source a generator right now would be really expensive.

In ‘03 I visited folks who lived in rural southern Ontario.
They told me tales of the great ice storm of ‘98.
Some areas were with no power for over 2 months.
Neighbors pulled together and made it work.
