Default run furnace without blower?

We have a gas forced-air furnace. The blower v-belt broke tonight.
Oops. I'll get one as soon as the stores open; but, in the meantime, in
case anyone is up: can I run the furnace w/o the blower, like an old
gravity furnace? Or, to put it more precisely, how long can I run it
that way?

Thanks,

I'd not do it as it can overheat the heat exchanger even with a high limit
switch. OTOH, I'd be tempted to rig a fan somehow to get me through the
night.

Hi,

Better half's Nylon panty will do, LOL.
