Yes, though we're in a bit of a weird situation with respect to installing them. We have deed restrictions that would prohibit a permanent setup, so no 500+ gallon tanks on a concrete pad would be allowed. A few homeowners have gotten around that by using the 120 gallon tanks on a gravel base for a "temporary" setup. When the tanks are empty they just load a pickup or trailer with them and head to the local RV place for fill-ups. They just have 1-2 appliances though, like a gas fireplace or an outside kitchen in a three-season porch, the whole house isn't plumbed for gas.
Our ten day forecast is looking warmer so we'll be good for a bit. Was looking online at kerosene heaters as backup heat just in case the power goes out and we don't want to deal with the generator running outside, especially if the weather is awful.
