With it this cold, there's little to no moisture in the air which means there's very little resistance to sound waves.

Couple that with everything freezing to the point of brittleness and you get all sorts of weird noises from all angles and distances

Right now I can hear snaps and cracks up and down the mountain. It's loud enough to hear clearly through double pane windows
