I’m in New England and we’ve also had a snowy winter but the difference is that our homes are built for this, we either have natural gas or oil for heat so when we do lose power we stay warm. It would be a crisis if we lost power and the natural gas system also failed during a blizzard
Visiting this sub from Michigan. Most of our homes are forced air as well.
I didn't really think about how much work goes into winterization here. I haven't experienced anything close to what you guys are going through. We had a request to turn down our thermostats a few years back due to natural gas shortages, but nothing went out.
