Boom Boom, how well insulated is your house?   As a stop gap, can you pile snow against the windward side of your house? 

It's a 40-year-old trailer with cheap pressboard siding and a basement and a laundry room added on, so it's basically a steel tube with siding. Adding snow to the sides all around is an annual ritual here - for everyone. With the wood furnace and baseboard heaters all on, the inside is rather comfortable. However, the front door is frozen shut, I have to use the basement entrance. No significant warming here in the forecast until Tuesday (can be found at: http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/qc-125_metric_e.html#detailsf and click on "details").

I live in Kegaska, 44 km from Natashquan, which is the nearest weather station.
