I use an Interlock on my panel and it works fine. You can power up the key circuits needed to "weather" the Storm. When laying out the breaker configuration you want to balance the "load" as evenly on L1 and L2. You can see this on the PANEL layout as to how the Furnace is on L1 and the Refrigerator is on L2. Out side of the Well Pump these are the most important Items to have working.

In the PANEL layout pdf file I see your furnace on L2 and your Refrigerator on L1.

Nice job with the PANEL layout on a pdf file, it explains L1 and L2 very well.
