  America. I shouldn’t need to tell you that trees exploding is a sign we’re not on the right path

    If it takes trees exploding and not … everything else that tips you off, you’re either a fool or not paying attention, or both.

  Ok, I live in Alberta, Canada. I grew up in the woods of Northern Alberta. We can get week long bouts of -40°C/F and I have NEVER seen or heard of exploding trees in the area. Are American trees just weak, or is this fake?

    Trees further south have different conditions.

    When we get cold snaps before 15f in the mid Atlantic tree sap that doesn’t usually freeze will freeze and limbs will pop. I’ve never seen a tree explode but I’ve definitely heard trees blowing limb and bits of themselves in the woods. Wind exacerbates the phenomenon

    It was raining here two weeks ago. Temperatures were in the 20-30s earlier this week. It’s being far below freezing AND recent warm weather that’s the danger.

    I’m going to guess it has to do with how quickly the temperature change occurs, or other environmental factors. It seems to be a somewhat rare occurrence, even in places where it gets very cold

      In Alberta a chinook can make the temp go from -20 to 20 in a matter of hours, the same backwards.

  Sometimes I think how Minnesota is ranked the least stressed state 

  Other times I just think how

    Maybe for the same reason that the Nordic countries are ranked as the happiest

  That’s a hell of a blast radius.

  Idk why the left side of ND is excluded, it’s -36 in Williston today.

    The trees have probably already exploded. It’s how they knew to warn those east of them.

      The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.

    It’s probably more about large variances in temperature over a shorter period. If it’s already -36 today and been similarly cold recently then the trees are already frozen. There isn’t a risk from internal liquid water freezing and expanding.

  When I was a kid I read Brian’s Winter, part of the Hatchet series. He was scared by explosions while alone in the winter woods and found out in the end that they were exploding trees. Never forgot about that concept, but I never bothered to look up how big a tree can be and explode.
