I lost electricity for almost a week last winter when it was 0F, the only way I got my house warm was boiling big pots of water, I will never get a electric stove, I simply don’t trust the grid.
Interesting that you apparently don’t have a gas furnace, the much more obvious solution. Boiling water for heat is not like a cool and easy solution with no risks or downsides. Get a generator if you’re worried about electric outages that bad.
True, though I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that a gas furnace takes less power than a space heater to run, so a generator of virtually any size can run it.

Gas furnaces need an electric blower to move the heat around.
