I wish we could. The temperature is supposed to keep dropping to -25 overnight.

I hate this state.

I survived that temperature some years ago in downstate Illinois and have lived to tell about it. It is suppose to get down to -15F tonight. I grew up in house that had practically no insulation. The house was heated with a natural gas boiler and radiators. Kerosene heaters were used to keep pipes from freezing in the basement during cold spells. Before the energy crisis of the early 70's, you just cranked up the heat when it got cold. My parents live in the same house today. It has been insulated a few times. They got tax breaks for the spray in insulation back in the day. They added more insulation when they did siding and windows upgrades.
