With a case of the camping size propane tanks that it uses.  It won't heat the house but can easily heat our 17' x 20' family room with the sliding door closed for a day or two. We also have a medium sized portable power station (Bluetti elite 200 v2), and if things get really ugly we have a small gas-powered portable generator/inverter that can run all the basics and recharge the power station when needed.

We basically tend to hang out in our family room and watch shows on our iPads or play board games.  The kids have a nintendo switch.  With a big snow event there is good notice so we have time to charge everything, download some shows, make sure we have enough clean clothes :) and food basics in the house.  Even when we got 20 or so inches in Falls Church like 10 years ago (or so) we were able to get out of the house and drive to the nearest store within 36 hours.  So we stay warm and wait it out.[/quote]
