Unless you physically disconnect the feed @ the Weather Head, the Meter socket will remain hot in most homes...

If the disconnect is between the meter and the panel, can’t you lock out tag out the disconnect and then not have to remove the meter?
On our homes, the meter can and a disconnect are side-by-side on the outside of the house. If there’s an emergency, the power company/police/fire department can turn the power off to the house at the exterior disconnect.
If you’re inside the house, you can flip the disconnect in the panel.
That’s it for me. I’m just exhausted my lack of knowledge of electrical systems.
