In addition to the historically low temperatures, the region
also experienced a number of rare winter weather events,
including frost quakes, cracking trees and sea smoke.
Frost quakes, otherwise known as cryoseisms, are just like
earthquakes, which generate tremors and thunderous
sensations when large cracks develop in frozen soil.
Dan Skoff, KNWA News chief meteorologist, says that
frost quakes can shake houses, which occurred in
Arkansas late in January amid a similar weather event.
The NWS also shared eerie videos of trees cracking, likely
from water inside the trees freezing and expanding, which , "caused some tree damage and power outages.".
The same region also experienced sea smoke,
otherwise known as frost smoke or steam fog,
which occurs when frigid air moves over warmer water.
Sea smoke, which creates the appearance of smoke over
the water and typically occurs in the Arctic, was spotted
by residents in Little Compton, Rhode Island.
