Really cold weather doesn’t have much wind. It’s metrology. Without long term storage, wind power during the winter in the northern hemisphere is just meh. Same with any variable renewable energy source. Instead of celebrating the few times renewable energy actually produces energy when it’s needed we should celebrate every time a new Nuclear power plant comes online.

Generally speaking extreme temps don’t coexist with wind for very long. Wind, after all, convects air around, and fundamentally you’ll have the extremes mixed with non-extreme air.

Like a heat dome, for example, is only possible when there’s no wind to push the dome away.
