So why would the power go out when it's just cold outside?

Ice coated limbs breaking and falling on power lines. Or cars crashing into poles. Or maybe they just like to frick with you.

when it's cold outside people's heaters run non stop. if they have electric heat, they use a lot of electric power. if the people use more power than the company can provide, there will be outages. this is why companies often may ask you to conserve power and keep your lights and tv off and not wash clothes and things like that during peak hours. if everyone conserves a little power, then there is a smaller chance of having outages.
