I guess I'll go first. We always buy some extra food when these kind of storms hit so i think we could go 2 to 3 weks if we really had to. We have a gas stove and a grill so we should be ok there for cooking. Sense it a winter storm we won't have to worry about refigeration as we can put food outside. Our living room has a big fire place so we could seal off the room and probably stay warm. If we cannot keep the living room warm enough we could always move into the garage as I have a wood stove and can easly keep it in the 70's. I actually have a hard time keeping the garage from getting to warm when the wood stove gets going. So I'm guessing we could go 3 weeks or maybe a little more if our food and firewood do not run out. Gas sould not be an issue if we needed to drive as my boat always has 50 gallons or more in its tank that easy to get to.
