back in the late 80s we had a major ice storm and was without power for almost 3 weeks (lived at the end of the line) kept a fire in the fireplace,used a lot of coleman fuel for lights and cooking. but if you have a well you dont have any water either!you just make the best of it by
1.talking
.playing games
pile the covers on and go to bed early
snuggle a LOT!
