You know, this is a major concern for me.

I live in the south and we only get a few inches of snow a year in my area and it always melts fast. We dont really have roadcrew to clear roads, no snowblowers, no tire chains-- don't need it. In my 37 years of life, I've never even had the need to drive on ice. People just stay inside until it melts.

BUT-- if we were to get an unusual snowstorm, our town would close down. No food, no gas,

If we were to have power outages, we'd have no way to stay warm. No heater, no electric blankets....

We have a small fireplace, but it is not designed to heat a room well. I truly believe it sucks more warm air out of the hosue than it does heat it. We have about 1/3 cord of firewood in the backyard (at $250-350 a cord around here, that's $$$$)

We have lanterns, candles and flashlights, but other than blankets, no idea how to stay warm.

Could cook on the charcoal grill, also have campstove. Food wouldn't be a problem, but warmth is.

thoughts?
