I Finland the electric network companies have spent years and billions of € digging our electric grid underground after we had a few high-profile cases of electricity being cut off during winter because of snow-logged trees crashing on remote power lines.

That happened a lot here, plus tons of burst water pipes and carbon monoxide poisonings. Seriously, nothing here is built for the kind of cold you guys live with.

The first day without power is doable, but that second day is just killer.
