I just got done shoveling a foot of snow up here at my moms house in Wisconsin and figured it is now time to alert the people that "Weight on the Tectonic Plate" can also cause a certain amount of potential seismic energy.
So, just be aware that the weight of a lot of snow alone, depending if they get a lot more on the East Coast, can cause the North American plate to shift towards the San Andreas Fault and probably cause some bumping and grinding out along our West Coast.
Not a real big earthquake at this point, since the Northridge, Kobe, and great Alaska earthquakes, were all preceded by huge winter storms with like about two feet of snow across the whole country. . . this one hasn't been quite that bad. Thank-You for reading!!! EQ Guy
