We are in Texas near the frontier. I asked a similar question of the host of our AirBnB: Why is your grid able to support summer air conditioning but not winter cold? His reply: I dunno.
But we have the opposite in Minnesota, when it gets really hot in July we are asked to conserve electricity and some businesses have to shut down. Not so much in -25° winter.
Our AirBnB lost power around 2am and by 5pm we decided to ask our son if we could stay in his apartment which only lost power for a couple of hours. We saw only one utility truck today driving down the road. I expect it will be a few days before our place gets power.
