Even if the outdoor grill was easily accessible, using that indoors doesn't sound like a smart idea, the fumes have nowhere to go and it's a fire hazard.
I have a furnace and —though not mentioned in the story— that's hopefully (and likely, given where I live) a fuel combustion furnace which doesn't require electricity to operate. So I have a source of heat.
Sealing off a room would provide some extra insulation but I don't see how that can be very effective to conserve heat.
So, still under the assumption that my furnace is operational, I would move the food from the fridge and freezer outdoors in the snow.
I'll choose this one. I'm not sure why you wouldn't do this step, then go and continue with #1. You can always place the food outside in an area able to be reached from the room in which you are staying in.
With the power out, I need to keep my food fresh because I don’t know how long it will be until I can get to the store with this storm
This is tough, I was between 1 & 3. I hope I choose right!
