Frost Quakes are continuing with the rapid decline in temperatures. I didn’t actually hear one here, but I have photographic evidence that we had one.
This is what I woke up to on the ground beneath the tree and all around my hedges, here at home and all around the block on my paper route.
Frost Quake icicles
The trees are bare of their previous coating of ice, and now the icicles lay all over the ground like tiny transparent straws. Interesting, yet as slippery as sheer ice to walk on.
Unlike earthquakes, frost quakes are close to the surface and are therefore undetectable by seismic equipment.
So if you live in the widespread area of plummeting temperatures right now, and you hear a loud booming noise, it may not actually be a car hitting your home. It might be a frost quake.
