The same thing happened to me as a teenager while my parents were away on holiday (in Barbados! Bastards!) In Canada, in February. The electric fan/heater saved my life, since I moved into one room on an upper floor and ran it in there with the door closed. It got pretty darned frosty in the rest of the house, let-me-tell-you.
