Winter Time Power Loss


I live in Cleveland, OH and last night we had a bad ice storm. Thankfully, my neighborhood did not lose electric power, although some nearby did. As this is my first winter with aquariums, it got me to thinking about loss of electric power and its effect on my aquariums (or is it aquaria?) ;-) If, heaven forbid, I should have a power loss during the winter where the temperature in my house could fall very low, very quickly, what can one do to protect their fish? I had the idea of draping blankets over the aquariums to try to reduce heat loss. Is that pointless? I don’t have an auxiliary generator, so I’m at the mercy of First Energy. If there is an extended power loss during the winter, are my fish “toast” (or popsicles) so to speak?
