We're ready. Chimney is swept, propane tank is full, snow blower has been serviced and tested. We were gifted with a lot of free wood last year, enough for two years of heating and it's all cut, split, stacked, and seasoned. Indiana winters are typically mild with not many below-zero days and only a few snow storms. Most years, we don't get a real snowstorm until after the holidays. We heat primarily with wood. Our regular furnace runs on propane, but we use maybe 2/3 of a 500 gallon tank over one heating season - the thermostat for that is set on 68 if we are home and 60 if we are away overnight. It is rare for our electricity to go off, the longest I can remember is about 6 hours. However, if it does happen, we have a generator that we use for boondocking the camper that we can use run a few lights, the well pump and pressure tank, the blower on the fireplace insert, and maybe the microwave. It would probably be cold enough that anything in the freezer could be packed in tubs and set outside in the barn to stay frozen.
The last blizzard that hit Indiana where I live was in 1978. I say every year that we are due for a blizzard, but it's been over 40 years and it hasn't happened yet.
