Winter Storm Fern

Key Highlights

Meteorologists described the winter storm as “potentially historic” as it impacted nearly 230 million people due to its sheer size and duration. In addition to our linemen, our power restoration efforts included project managers, field mechanics, and safety personnel. Our fleet team and tool room worked behind the scenes to ensure trucks were fueled, stocked, and ready to roll at a moment’s notice. This level of readiness made a real difference for our utility partners and the communities that relied on us.

Challenges and Results

Our teams faced numerous challenges due to winter conditions, which brought a wide swath of snow, sleet, freezing rain, and ice, along with gusty winds and heavy snowfall. Despite these conditions, all teams worked together to keep operations running smoothly, equipment operational, and crews safe.
