It's currently 5 degrees outside, and 11:21 pm ... and our heater's broken.

blanket a room. Hang them over windows, doors, on the floor, make a tent/fort. This can seriously make a difference in survival.

Thanks for the advice! We chose option B, which was to call a repairman.

slacker!

But that was meant as 'in the meantime." Probably silly considering where you are.

When it's below 0 (F) outside, and is expected to have highs in the single digits for the next three days, there is no "meantime".

When we lived in Oregon, I pulled the goat into the house for that very reason. She was another body in a small area to generate heat.

They say that cows are warmer. I have no first-hand experience with either.

Well, cows are generally bigger than goats, so all else being equal you'd expect that to be true. Plus, cows are gassier. Mmm... warm methane.

Personally, I prefer cutting open a tauntaun and cramming myself inside. But maybe that's just me.

I knew *someone* would go there.

We were eyeing Sody for a little while.
