Batteries work well enough in the cold, at least for settings where people don't cold soak them overnight. Heat pumps are also efficient down to very low temperatures, and resistive elements can kick in as backup. Electric heat is viable.
Solar can be used for heat but in most senses "solar" is PV panels generating electricity. Yes, they don't always produce power, especially when covered by snow. We also have unpredictable power demands that must be met exactly for the grid to stay at the right frequency. Thus some sort of peaker capacity is still needed, but that functionality can largely be replaced by big battery banks, hauling train cars up a big hill, pumping water against gravity, etc.
This is a bit of a moot point imho.
You are never going to be 100% ready beforehand.
Demand precedes supply.
The larger the delta, the faster the change to meet the demand
Life has a certain amount of FAAFO and "trial by fire"

As an industrial controls engineer I palm my face when people talk about the Industrial Internet Of Things and encourage people to airgap their critical infrastructure as much as possible.
Two personal friends are commanders for the US Army cyber defense, one out of Maryland and one in SoCal, Each of them say the same thing,
"We can tell you exactly when and where they are going to hit and how they will do it, but 99% of those systems and infrastructures are a house of cards. American users wont spend the minimal time and finances to beef up their vulnerability that would only take a week and minimal dollars to be fortressed."
