The difference here is that we mostly have electric heat too. Our systems are not designed for this type of cold. I have been in the cold in the NE during blizzards and very low temps. I hunted out in that weather. But they had boilers and radiators. They also did not lose their power if the wind blew in 20mph wind. We used to lose power maybe once in a year or two. Sometimes we lost it in more years than that. But now, I have lost count how many times from two years ago. But this, is when the temp is killing livestock, and wildlife is freezing to death too. Our normal temp now is 60 during the day, and 41 deg low. Not ever negative temps with a wind chill ten deg below that or more.
