Many people lost their power during this past winter season

In retrospect, I wasn’t completely prepared for this past winter season.

We saw record lows amid crazy blizzards and ice storms that stretched from one end of the country to the other.

Even the southern part of the country got hit with freezing temperatures a handful of times. We would get a week of milder weather before getting annihilated with another freezing storm. I should have bought a storm generator when I had the chance to, because we lost power at times for a few hours at a time. In Texas this scenario played out like a nightmare situation because their power grid was hit with freezing temperatures close to zero for days on end. Power lines froze and a large majority of the state lost power for days at a time. Others lost power for weeks. Not only do you lose the ability to stay warm with no access to heat, you run the danger of your pipes freezing and bursting. Many are dealing with thousands of dollars with water damage because they didn’t turn off their water and evacuate their pipes before the worst storm hit. Honestly, I wouldn’t have known to do this either. I live farther north and realize that I was close to replicating this nightmare scenario multiple times this year. In my case, my electricity was reconnected before conditions became dire. Now I realize that I need some kind of supplemental heat or a strong storm generator. Since I”m a fan of wood heating, I’m going to call around and find a good price on a wood stove. They’re easy to add to any free standing home, regardless of whether or not your house has an existing chimney. The retrofitting process only requires minimal materials and labor.
