The next 5 days still cold and stormy through the mid states and the east coast.

5-10 day shows a short warm up coming for some but then it gets cold again.

Looks like I’m right on the 1-3 inch snowfall line near Williamsburg

Not sure I want some of those from what I read…. 😁
It's true, a fair number of them are best left alone - unless you are tired of life. Unfortunately some of the most deadly are also the most common.

I do like the snakes though. I’ll take them any day over bugs.

I drive 14 miles in the Grand Cherokee with this one to get him to a safer place. People were giving me strange looks. I thought “it’s just an old guy driving a hemi Grand Cherokee”. Oh yeah, the curled snake thing.

That’s what I’ve heard and read. I’ll pick the black snakes up all day long and the racers and water snakes don’t bother me. The copperheads I have tongs for.

We just went for a walk and it's so nice outside that the cactus think it's spring here. :oops: :tumbleweed:

It's starting to thaw out around here a little bit.

I'm not complaining about it being a dry cold. My truck is going to be three tone by the time all of this melts lol.
I took this standing by the old oak tree, looking sort of North East.

As always everyone stay warm and stay safe.

Our last house had a barn with laid up stone basement. We had a copperhead problem and they were quite aggressive if startled. I loaded 38 snake shot for the ones that were aggressive. I was the quartermaster for our boyscout troop and stored the 50 containers of equipment for camping in there. We were loading trucks up for a big camping event and the scoutmaster grabbed a container with a big one on top. Needles yo say he screamed like a little girl before grabbing a shovel to toss it outside and decapitate it. We found another place to store everything after that. I hate copperheads and they reproduce like rabbits.

Yep, not getting squat from this one aside from cold and wind. Upper 30's low 40's next week. Bring on the thaw, for a while.
On another note, while moving my Snowsport plow, I crushed my middle finger tip. Let me tell you something about pain. This fucking HURT1

Kinda what I’m hoping, thank you

If they are way out on the back roads somewhere like this one was, I will snap a picture and leave them go on their way. HOWEVER, if they are in the yards where children are or my animals, and I can’t catch them with the tongs, yeah, sorry dude but you gotta go. Rest in pieces.
