Post Furnace Problem ?

Hope I can gets some feedbak on a recent furnace issue, I experienced.

The facts:
Oil fired furnace: Weil-McClean
Beckett Burner
Forced hot water system
Tank located in a shed outside of house-Shed is heated by furnace heated
generated, so never gets cold or freezing
#2 Oil used - treated with 'Hot Shot'
Power-Vent Exhaust - from furnace room to outside

Issue:

This morning I woke up, and house seemed very cold, so I turned up the thermostas, and didn't think anything of it. However, when I went to take a shower, I had 'no' hot water, zip, nada ! Just cold water coming out.

That know, I wne to the furnace shed, and sure enough the furnace had shut down. I have no idea, how long it was in this state, but shutdown, sometime between midnight and 7am.

Just FYI:
Have had many recent parts replaced on furnace and Power-Vent, and basically all tuned-up, by Oil dealer. I'm talking repairs within the last 2 wks. Wondering why the furnace shut down, for no reason?

Now I don't know if this is a factor at all, but yesterday and all night long there were VERY high winds ! Could this somehow be a factor, and maybe the wind caused some back-drafts to the furnace, and shut it down?

I might be reaching on this one, but I have no other explanation?

Anyone have thoughts or ideas about the furnace failure.

Thanks,
BD
