I've read that most who seem to know this stuff say this winter will be a bad one.

I'm with you on that -- one year I was without for 10 days. Good thing I had a wood stove and a large glass greenhouse for warmth.
I showered at work in the gym. But I got really cranky after a while -- only instant coffee with water heated on the small flat top stove for breakfast.
Cold food was no problem -- it was freezing outside anyways..

I have heard the same thing too...our last few winters have been way snowier than what we had for a long time...guess we will have to wait and see what winter brings...and use any extra indoor time for quilting!

When we had a several-day poweroutage several years ago, I boiled water in my fondue pot, poured it slowly through the grind basket of the coffee machine and still had real coffee. We grilled out a lot or cooked on the woodstove (miss that-don't have one in the new house) and had old oil lamps for lights. I still got a little cranky by the end!!![/quote]
You sound like me...if I have coffee and/or cappuccino, I can survive...lol...Naomi
