Bring the down comforter! An electric blanket if you have one, too. Electric blankets don't use that much electricity (we are off the grid and have one) and on cold nights those will be the only "heaters" you have in your house.
Actually, you don't need as much stuff here as you do on the mainland. No seasonal clothing, no dress up clothing, no jewelry, not even a watch is necessary half the time. A junk old car works fine since there aren't that many places to drive anyway. Stuff for being outside is good. Anything esoteric that you like to use since guaranteed you won't be able to replace it here. I dunno what size your house is on the mainland, but over here if it is over 2,000 square feet it is considered huge. Pick out your favorite stuff and ditch the rest. If you need it again, you can pick something you like better than what you left.
