Heh, last Christmas the power was out for about two weeks at my parents' house, which uses electricity to push the hot air generated by our gas furnace through the house. It was -25 C.
Granted, I might not have had to go to the hospital if we had gone to a warming shelter earlier than the sixth day. (My father is rather stubborn, and it damn near killed me. When I got out of the hospital, I left the house and paid for a hotel room in a part of town where power had been restored.)
