Warm Up With This Winter Heat Review Part 2

Here's the video that show how I safely prepare the space heaters for an advancing winter storm of ice and snow. I also put the 12volt battery on charge to get ready for any power outage.

We did end up loosing power for about an hour during the first brunt of the ice...
