Arrow ... electric grid; large and in charge

Today is Monday, February 6, 2022 and the local NH air temps have bounced back up to a relatively warm 25-degrees at 3-am in Weirs Beach, a very normal and common February-NH temperature, 25-degrees-F.

It seems like NH really dodged a serious problem over this last Friday-Saturday-Sunday, Feb 3-4-5, 2023 cold snap that coincided exactly with the Pond Hockey Classic in Meredith because the winds did NOT disrupt the NH electric distribution grid with falling trees knocking down the electric lines. Having a deep freeze cold of 10-20 degrees below zero for two to three days combined with electricity outages could have been a serious tough problem, so it was totally excellent that the electric distribution grid was large and in charge during the recent super-cold snap.

It would have been no joke, had that actually happened ........ -10 to -20 over two to three days with no electricity ..... yikes. Makes me think living in Alaska, off grid, and heating with a wood stove. A super reliable electric power grid is what I am fortunate to have, here in the middle of NH.
