    I am adding at least half a gallon of antifreeze to the race car this afternoon. We lose power out where I live often so I'm expecting it. I went on Tue. and topped off the propane and fuel in the RV. At least I can live in it if I have to if the power goes out.

    Yes, light bulbs and 1/2 gal of antifreeze concentrate as a backup incase the power goes out like Bryan said.

    Alright going to rely on the block/radiator water heater with the 38*F switch and a light bulb. I have a battery powered camera to keep an eye on it so once temps get below 38* and I don't see a light, I can go investigate. Will be below zero for 36 hours.

    Good thing is I'm in the city on city power; the storage location uses underground power and most the lines here not much trees.

    Below zero in H-town? I assume you mean 0 C?

    I put light bulbs in the engine bay, but I do have a propane heater I can use if we were to lose electricity.

    I guess this was before LED bulbs?
