[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Insulate the house as much as possible - keep the blinds down, stuff blankets around any drafty doors.

Huddle the family together in one room, preferably one with doors rather than an open floor plan space. Body heat generates a fair amount of heat, but you need to keep it contained in one room. If that room has a fireplace, even better.

Light exercise to keep warm - jumping jacks and similar. Not so much that you break into a sweat - you want to stay dry.

Hot liquids - drinks and soup.

Do NOT run a propane camping stove or heater indoors. [b] You can use your kitchen gas stove if you have one,[/b] but any portable propane devices need ventilation. [/quote]

Abso-frickin'-lutely not.  Do not do this.  If you don't believe me, a simple google search will confirm.    [/quote]

2nd this - do not do it as it is a carbon monixide issue and could kill you.[/quote]

Why can’t you cook with a gas stove when there’s no power? You just light the burner with a match or grill lighter.[/quote]
