How is this even possible. Get -40 here and our power grid is just fine

Cause temperature isn’t the only factor. I’m lucky in that my area is with power, but the winter storm was a mix of high winds and fluctuations in temperature around 32 degrees Fahrenheit. So rain was coming down, turning into ice, and a few hours later it would freeze again just to melt later on. I’ve lived here for seven years and this was one of the worst one’s I’ve seen

I'm just across the river in Windsor and we had lots of outages, too. Enwin was on the ball, though. Power was back for most people in a matter of hours. Different story in the county - Hydro One is never on the ball.
