Let us know how it turns out... and what the furnace issue was.
Over the years we've had a furnace go out due to induction motor (replaced this past fall), a newly-dead thermocouple, a dirty fire-eye (flame-sensor). With two NG fireplaces in the house (basement/main) we turned them on full, fired up a couple space heaters, closed all the blinds/curtains (extra insulation), and basically were ok for a day or so. As others have pointed out, piping into your house is buried year round and so is fairly constant at ~6-8°C. Instead it's the static fluid in your outer walls that's of concern... so a periodic flush and/or slow drip for movement would buy more time.
