No offense man but that sounds depressing as fûck.Darcy wrote: spent 10 years living in a place that didn't get above -30 C (-22 F) for at least two months every winter, BUT I grew up in the cold, was used to it, and had the gear.
Cozy but crappy way to actually heat a house, wood stove is a bit better, you can cook on those but you gotta clean that chimney on the regular or the roof 'll catch fire. Gotta use real wood too. Cutting trees, chopping wood, stacking it to dry is too much of a hassle IMO, I barely get round to mowing my lawn. Rather pay the gazprom thugs and be done with it. NS2 almost finished so those ukraine nazis can't cut off the supply.

Ok - 2 degrees in Dallas sounds pretty cold for them, it was about 3 degrees and over a foot of snow fell here in the Niagara Region but that just means it takes a few minutes more to drive to work. A big icestorm is bad shit to the electrical grid but cold and a few inches of snow doesn't sound bad unless there is abosolutely no weatherproofing, which would mean the rain there would cause problems.
Are the watermains above ground there? A couple of days with cold temperatures does not sound like it would cause alot of problems as the frost would not go far into the ground. It would take a while of sub zero temperatures for the frost to get a couple of feet into the ground especially with an insulating layer of snow.
