The weather is expected to turn quite unpleasant, and in some areas, ice rain could actually cause a few power poles to topple. I don’t think this will happen, but just for fun, here’s a question:
How do you prepare for a 48-hour power outage at -5 to -10°C (23 to 14°F)?
It never hurts to think about this kind of situation, even if it’s unlikely.

Each candle provides 20-50W of heating power, so proper technique is important Is that right? We currently have 7 of them on… plus the stove 😀
Yes, small tealights around 20W and larger candles with thicker wicks up to 50W, storm candles with 5-8cm (2-3 inches) flames even more.
When discussing the building design and KfW (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau) topic, we speculated about heating with 10-20 candles; the general contractor looked slightly puzzled, but now he knows our sense of humor.
