Ice storm area people. Strange Booms?

I am experiencing "booms" at my house. Several last night, one just a few minutes ago. Are any of you guys hearing or feeling these? Are they "frost quakes"?

At first I thought heavy snow/ice combinations falling off the roof. But nothing new has fallen. Have heard of them in Ontario and New England States around Christmas. Anyone else last night or tonight?

 

A cryoseism, also known as a frost quake,[1][2] may be caused by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice.[3] As water seeps down into the rock, it freezes and expands, putting stress on surrounding rock. This builds up until it is relieved explosively in a cryoseism.[4]
Another form of cryoseism, known as an ice quake, is a non-tectonic seismic event caused by sudden glacial movements, sometimes due to the formation of a thin veneer of liquid water under a glacier from surface melting. Usually, a glacier would stick to the rough bedrock, but the hydraulic pressure acts as a lubricant, allowing it to slide up to many metres at once.[5][6] This type of cryoseism can last for tens of minutes.[7]
As the requirements for cryoseisms to occur are not yet defined, their prediction is still not possible and constitute a significant factor in structural design and engineering.[3] Links have been made between global warming and the frequency of cryoseisms.

Haven't heard those but when very cold temps hit (single digits) we get nail pops in the house. They sound halfway between a thunk and a pop noise heard throughout the structure. Or maybe they're framing members splitting ( hope not).

 

we have a pond/lake across the street and any time the ice is thick enough to go out on the ice is cracking and booming quite a bit.
sometimes water will squirt out of a fresh making crack - a little unnerving when it happens that close
