Adding to this a million years later since I still get asked for the link!
Windows lose a lot of heat. Tape clear plastic bags or bubble wrap over the frames so that there's a barrier or air trapped between the plastic and the window. Then have heavy curtains on top of that.
Rugs are fantastic. Floors are often poorly insulated, so rugs give a little bitty layer of insulation.
Pile your laundry on your bed. Sleep underneath it. Make a pillow fort.
Have clean socks. Don't stay in wet clothes, no matter how cold the house is - the water evaporating is stealing your heat!
And lastly, get out of the house as much as you can. Go somewhere with power and bring a charger for your cell phone or laptop. Get something warm to eat. Have humans around you and remind yourself that the world isn't entirely white bullshit.
