Glad someone else asked this question as I'm in the same boat, but in Delaware. Supposed to get slammed and normally my bearded dragons are fine for a few days without power, but only having this snake for a week is making me nervous! My power goes out if a gnat flies by the power lines....so I'm almost positive it will be going out soon. I bought some extra hand warmers (10 hour ones were only 79 cents at Boscovs) and would wrap them in a washcloth or something so they can't have direct skin contact with it like someone else said. And I always hold off food due to no basking temps...
