Yet Another Ice-Storm Lesson During our 8 day outage, we used our woodstove during the day and then let it burn out at night. After about 3 days, the house temperature would rise to about 65 during the day and drop to a frosty 55 overnight. Realizing that windows account for about 25% of heat loss in a house, we added another layer to the windows using the inexpensive plastic storm window kits sold at hardware stores. After this, our daytime and nighttime temperatures were about 5 degrees higher. Just a suggestion to consider throwing a couple of these plastic storm window kits into your Y2K provisions. As far as we could tell, nobody else thought of this. :-)) John PS: Major storm headed for central U.S. New Years Eve biz.yahoo.com
