I'm back, finally. Right after that 4:53 PM posting the power went out. Amusingly the next thing I was going to do was to get one of the flashlights to keep with me. Oh well. Power came on about midnight, and then again at 6 AM.
Almost nobody at church this morning. Road conditions were poor and more snow in the forecast (it's snowing again now).
NnBb, your setup doesn't sound much different from my mother's for years, but she had solar cells (with a backup generator). House ran on 12V.

"NnBb, your setup doesn't sound much different from my mother's for years, but she had solar cells (with a backup generator). House ran on 12V." I would like to have ... an earth-sheltered home with solar cells, solar collectors, passive solar, geothermal-sourced heat pump, and a garage in which my custom hybrid vehicle would connect up to share its power and heat generation with the house.
According to my calculations, I'd have a very low carbon footprint, but I would live very comfortably.
