Like the lyrics to the song go "It's Forty Below and I don't give a #*@%&, got a heater in my truck and I'm off to the Rodeo!!!" (It's an old David Allan Coe song) Well, it actually WAS about that cold around here for most of the last week or so, and so i just thought i would take a second to write.
While severe cold was originally a part of potential seismic activity, I want to point out that it was in association with four feet of snow in the Sierras, and wind speeds of up to 55 mph so today I just want to point out to those of you who were interested that the severe cold ALONE, might not be too much of a source for seismic energy.
Granted, I believe it to be hot and cold that makes the mercury in a thermometer work possibly through warm/expansion and cold/contracting and that if that is true, then it seems plausible to me that energy could also contribute to plate tectonics. . . but in and of itself possibly not to the extent that it could cause a major earthquake. All alone by itself anyways. THIS could explain a lot of the small shakers in the five Richters range i am receiving on my cell phone via the Twitter service with text notifications for "EQTW" or "EarthquakeNews" both great sources of such notifications!!!
So, that is really all that is happening right at the moment. And the weather has gotten warmer since last week, too, so hopefully there isn't really too much potential seismic energy anywhere in the world right at the moment. Obviously still NOT an all clear by no means, but I suppose there could well be one coming up if nothing else happens soon!!!
Thank-You, again for reading!!!

EQ Alert Update: Full Moon!!!
Hello,
We just got about a whole nother foot of snow and I know that a lot of other places got a lot of additional snow as well. Also, they have had several earthquakes out at the West Coast and a couple more up around Yellowstone. So, as I said in my last update we should continue to be watching for earthquakes, although I do not have too much information as to what exactly might happen, if anything.
Am writing tonight mostly because the night of the full moon will be January 10, or I think like tomorrow and in the year or so that I have added in the full moon to my theory, I have actually had a certain amount of luck with potential seismic energy being released on that exact night!!! Due to that fifty percent chance of something major happening on the night of the full moon, and the fact that right this moment there may yet be some potential seismic activity out there, yet, watch tomorrow night for a small shaker.
That’s really all I have right now, just a full moon reminder. Thank-You, again for reading!

New EQ Bulletin: West Coast!!!
As of Sunday Morning there was a good sized shaker up around Wendover, Nevada in addition to that MAJOR SERIES of enormous earthquakes that shook yesterday, last night and today in the West Pacific.
You might expect that to be about the end of the Yellowstone Swarm, however let us be watching here for a few more days just in case something might happen along our West Coast. In the course of tracking potential seismic activity like i do, I always try to keep folks aware whenever something could still shake somewhere, and right this moment that somewhere is California, Oregon, Seattle, Alaska, and Japan.
While there has been a huge release of seismic energy out at PNG, there could still be pressure built up at other spots like along the San Andreas Fault that could do something. We should continue to be on the lookout for more earthquakes into this week and continue to be prepared!!! The release of all of that potential seismic energy will lead to a lessening of all of the big medium sized earthquakes we are seeing like TODAY, and in like a few more days methinks this event will be concluded for now!
Sincerely,
The EQ Alert Guy
