Suggestions for keeping warm
Does anyone have any suggestions for keeping a house warm with A no electricity and b no woodstove? the ice storm last night knocked out half the power in our town, and every hotel room has been booked so we are stuck in a cold poorly insulated house with no means of heating it. Any ideas are welcome.

Put blankets over all your windows and doors. On your walls even, to insulate a little better. Do you have a small propane camping heater? You could go buy one of those maybe, but you would have to keep the house fairly ventilated. Use lots of blankets and drink lots of tea if you have a gas stove to heat the water. Hot water bottles even to keep warm.
