I feel for you - I am in the same situation. My circuit breaker box went out last night, it was 58 in my condo this morning, and I can't call an electrician until Thursday when I get paid.
I have an electric blanket so I sleep well.
But for the next few days, I'm making it a point to not be at home. I'm working more in a nice warm office, and I'm using my gym membership (which I haven't used in 6 months) so I can be some place with working heat. Consider going to the mall or other public place during the day. Ensure you have plenty of blankets at night and wear something to bed (sweats, socks, etc.)

What is the longest time you have been without electricity after a storm?
Bubast
Hurricane Ike took our lights September 12 @ 11p.m. & they came back on October 2 @ 8:21 p.m.

In 2005, We were only out of power for 8 days after Katrina.

4 weeks... it was after a huge ice and snow storm in north eastern Montana and we lived 50miles from the nearest paved highway.. about 30 miles south of the Canadian border. The electric poles for miles had snapped off in the storm and the electric company had to replace hundreds of them and countless miles of line. So we used a small generator to pump water from the well when we needed it. Other wise we used candles, kerosene lamps. a wood stove for cooking and a fireplace to heat the small house we were in. It was cosy, warm and homey. PLus.. so very quiet.. it is surprising how much noise comes from electric things when they are working. Back round noise really.
