Autumn leaves+winter snow=widespread power outages
Here's my initial report--I suggest that you pay particular attention to the comments.
Here's a current report from CNN.
Long story short: With leaves still on the trees, the limbs and branches were far more likely to bend and/or break, taking down electric power lines along with them. I think I've heard that the situation is even worse than after Hurricane Irene. My husband and I are very fortunate, indeed, to live in one of the sections of New York City that has its electric power lines buried underground.

We were without power from Shabbos afternoon until 7PM Sunday night. I suggested to my lunch guests that we go around the neighborhood and accuse people sitting in the dark of being Kararites - sadly no one wanted to go out into the weather.
I'm sorry to hear that you were literally in the dark, but I'm glad that the power is back on in your home.

Karaites, eh? Another wiseguy heard from. :)
