Natural disasters that cut off power for more than a few hours are unlikely in Northern Europe. Cell towers have their own emergency power supply to deal with the once in a decade brown out.
If the power is off for days it means the Apocalypse or WW3 has happened.
- nicky0 9y agoJust out of curiosity how do you define Northern Europe? It's a term I'm seeing more lately but I don't know what it really means.
- hnarn 9y agoNorthern Europe refers geographically to the northern part of Europe, or in a narrower sense, to the cultural grouping of the Nordic countries, Baltic countries, and sometimes also the British Isles. (Wikipedia)
- nicky0 9y agoThank you, however I wasn't looking for the Wikipedia definition. I could have easily looked that up myself. I wanted to know what the poster personally meant by the term.
- robteix 9y agoIt’s not that uncommon here in Canada. It’s not like it happens every winter, but it is not uncommon to have some huge snow storm or frost that leaves some people without power for days. Just this last winter thousands in New Brunswick were left with no power in the dead of winter for over a week.
