Weird. I have never heard of that before.

And we’re no strangers to deep cold spells here in either NY or NH.

But then again, the trees that grow here that are native are probably more resistant to that sort of things.

No, there have been some nights where I had to work outside and I could hear them snapping. It was -22°. It was unnerving because I was a prison officer checking out the fenceline and they sounded a lot like rifle shots.

Happens all the time in northern NH, VT and ME, PQ, etc.

I've heard it in maple, birch and beech trees.

Not so much, if at all in soft wood trees.
