My parents, whose home we inherited, lost power for 10 days.<br /><br />But this new storm is predicted to be highly dangerous because the temperature isn't going to rise above 0 degrees, with wind gusts up to 75 mph.<br /><br />We have a wood stove and dozens of candles.

A big one and then time to remove it, allow some melting, time for it to settle/condense, etc. Roof weight, making room for piles, hazardous driving due to visibility all cause possible long term problems. The best of luck to you for a break in the action and a gentle melt.Coop a.k.a.
