Is the ongoing blizzard on the East Coast causing any lasting power outages? I'm wondering if anyone is excluded from trading because of it?
There are sure to be pockets of power outages with any sort of storm but I haven't heard of any significant outages, certainly nothing like the major northeastern outage in 2003. There are only 3 major grids in the US, with Texas being the only state with its own grid, so major regional outages are possible but are not very common. If it happens, you'll definitely hear about it.
