How much snow does it take to cause a power outage?
This can vary on the power lines and trees. Typically it would not be the snow, but the ice, which would cause problems, though. Icicles forming on overhead power lines, weighing them down, or icicles on tree branches, causing them to bend or break and fall into the power lines, would be the most common problems in winter weather, rather than a certain amount of snowfall.

Why do you have internet and telephones when the power lines are down?
Power lines and phone lines though using the same utility poles are two different sets of wires. Telephone wires carry their own power, separate from the power lines and are insulted while power lines are not. If the telephone wires are unbroken but laying on the ground the wires will not short to ground while an unbroken uninsulated power line will short to ground disrupting service.
How do TV and Radio stations remain on the air if transmission lines or power lines are down?
Many of them have their own emergency generators, ready to take over if the commercial power fails.
