worst comes to worst, we’ll set up the tent in the living room
Literally my emergency plan except I figured the back corner of the basement would be the most insulated place. I’ve even got a cut down memory foam mattress topper I keep with the tent to use as a “floor”. Great for not sleeping against the damp ground so should work well on the concrete floor downstairs.
We have two relatively large emergency blankets (foil lined on the inside with thick, safety orange plastic on the outside). We put those over the tent and under the rain fly along with some poncho liners.
That setup along with a closed cell foam pad for the floor has let us handle weather below freezing.
Just remember that you can suffocate if you seal everything up too much.
