That is the worst when power goes out and its cold. We lost power here once in a summer storm, it was out for I think 3 wks. and it was like 80 every day. Really no problem, I wake up, its rote, I bathed in the lake, and cooked on the grill. And it was daylight til 10. But when its cold, whole different animal. Prayers for all with broken pipes, and $$ bills.
