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.
The same thing happens in Southern California when it's hot out and people turn their AC on. So annoying!

it's not the people's fault. these companies are getting by as cheaply as possible. Far be it for a customer to run their ac when it's hot or the heater when it's cold! I work with them in disaster relief, I'm on standby as we speak. I've seen first hand the inferior supply system they try and get by with.
