tankterrors.comIn an absolute emergency, very small quantities of hydrogen peroxide in a slow drip can keep DO levels up. Doing this wrong will kill fish, so be sure to research to determine amounts for your tank volume, biomass of fish and temperature.
The do not feed thing is key too... and yeah, if there is a big storm forecasted skip a feeding before it hits and then once it passes and all is well you can start feeding again.
If you are going to do water changes you could theoretically heat the water up a bit on the gas barbeque... or failing that, if you are a super committed fishguy, in ziplock baggies under your sweater, brrrrr!

It's pretty dependent on your stocking level. If your tank is heavily stocked, you will start to see die off after a few hours from oxygen starvation unfortunately.
