(Before It's News)
There is an easy way to prepare for being able to keep warm in the winter during a power outage ~ Just have the thought in your head of how you would prepare for your family IF you had to sleep outside during the winter. You are not going to be sleeping outside, but if the power is out during a winter storm and it gets below zero, than it is going to feel like you are outside.
Stock up on winter grade sleeping bags, down comforters, and heavy wool blankets. Also keep a few extra blankets in your car. You can all huddle under blankets in a worst case scenario. But, if you do not want to just sit all huddled up , you can close off one room and heat it up. You are lucky if you have a fire-place or wood burning stove. But, if you do not have one than you need to get some other form of heat for an emergency. Invest in a kerosene heater, a propane heater, or pellet stove. Stock up on the fuel for them too.
You can easily prepare for a worst case scenario winter storm. Just use common sense. Winterize your home, stock up on food, winter clothing, and heat supplies.
