If any of you have the solar lights in your yard or around your walk way, you can bring them in at night for light. They work great for me. Just be sure to take them out in the day time to power back up. Just keep the snow & ice off them during the day. Also, glow sticks that kids use during Halloween work good too for keeping in the bathroom & kitchen so you don't have to carry other lights around. I always make sure & keep them on hand every winter. Keep a wood stove too for cooking & heat.
