Actually I have battery back ups for computers and other house hold items. If you have the money they can really save your arse. You can plug basically any normal pronged home appliance into them. Won't help if cable goes down though!
We have a couple pretty big ones that Dad got at the Sale Barn auction for less then $5 each. They work great. Last time we lost power he plugged in his 12” color TV so he could watch TV. It ran the TV for several hours.

I should have bought a generator right after the Y2K farce. They were cheap then.
We have at least 3 of them. And my Dad’s an industrial electrician, yet none of them are wired into our house wiring ready to go. They’re sitting in the garage. And every time we lose power, I mention how stupid it is to have them, but they’re never ready when we need them. *sigh* “Only the cobbler’s son goes without shoes.”

The only people I've found who sell gloves that fit are Harley-Davidson. Oh well, the girls don't seem to mind.
Have you checked the farm store? I too always have trouble finding big enough gloves, but I found some winter gloves for me at the farm store that were 5XL! The most comfortable sized winter gloves I ever had.
