Before I just decided to take a nap, I did a quick mental game plan. I figured I could just put ice chunks from the yard in the fridge to keep food fresh, my sump pump has a battery back up- yea, still pumping into the winter!, lastly, figure out a cord whip for the furnace.

I really should just do the mod that I have seen videos for- you instal an outlet on your furnace from the breaker and then put a cord with a plug on your furnace wiring so that in regular use, you just have the furnace plugged into the outlet and if you lose power, you already have a plug to hook up your generator to.
