Frost quake rattles Calgary's NW suburbs.

This is the first time I'v heard the term "frost quake", and it was when I was driving around listening to the news on the am dial.
Just hearing the word "quake" in my hometown Calgary was a bit odd... I had to google it when I got home.

What is a frost quake? This picture can describe it better then I can with words. lol

Seismology sleuths may have tracked down the source of a mysterious vibration that shook homes and echoed throughout the northwest this week.

A series of clues have led university researcher David Eaton to believe a schoolyard in Panorama Hills was the likely epicentre of what may have been a rare frost quake.

This crack, at Captain Nichola Goddard School in Panorama Hills, may be the source of a loud booming noise heard Monday night.

Frost quake gains credence as big boom theory.
