Had a bit of snow and gusty cold wind. No power outages but I'm on the same grid as a couple of hospitals and a massive data center so they never cut me off by choice

Hospitals usually have their own backup, so not sure the grid cares.

I don't really know how it all works but I live on the edge of an entire medical district. I've never had a black out last more than 15 minutes
