We're having one tonight. <shivers>
And as I was wrapping blankets and quilts around the outside of Josh's tort table to keep the drafts of my old house away, I considered how I would keep her warm if we lost power. Every ten years or so we have a nasty ice storm that puts the city in the dark.
So far I have come up with:
A) break into the pack of pocket hand warmers we use to keep little people's paws warm and line a shoe box.
or
B) move Josh into the truck camper which has propane'd power until the tanks run out.
Many of you seem to live in nice, warm, Southerly, sane areas. But for the rest of us, do you have a back up plan to keep your indoor torts warm if the electrical grid goes out?
Just for sympathy's sake, we are supposed to get -8 F tomorrow.
