My furnace ran continuously to keep the house at 68 during that time period. It was bitter bitter cold. Over 400 school districts in the Detroit area had school cancelled for a "cold" day the day before this guy was found. Bay City is about 150 miles north of Detroit, where it was even colder.

Ok...cool, now an expert...please break it down because if I am reading you correctly, then what you are saying contradicts the the news article....the limiter can possibly shut down the power but keeps the essentials running...correct?
OOOOoooorr...is it as the article states it the article that it allows power for a short time but at a certain point shuts it ALL off, including the heat?
