That happened to us too. Thursday or so? Went from nice and partially sunny to windy as hell and cold, then a hailstorm+heavy rain, then back to nice and partially sunny, all inside of an hour.

As an American, I assume snakes aren't poisonous unless they have a rattle. There are some parts of the country where that's not true, but Apatite's winter pictures look too cold to be among them.

au contraire! We as a species have actually unintentionally been breeding the rattle out of rattlesnakes. Why? People kill snakes that rattle. The ones that don't rattle stay alive. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=216924322

Also here's a list of at least some venomous snakes of the US:
Cottonmouths
Water Moccasins
Coral snakes
Copperheads
Rattlesnakes (which you listed)

There are others but that's what I can remember. Admittedly, most of them are from the south, but don't be surprised if rattlesnakes come back to the northeast soon.

wow, you're right. I guess I should have double checked those all before posting, since I last read about them when doing a school research project on texas like 20 years ago. Whoops :downs:

I think you might have a better heating system than me (again) apatite.

So does this acreage you guys retreated to actually have a home on it or are you roughing it like cave men? Edit: I missed the indoor pictures, not trying to be snarky.

What part of the country are you located in? It looks very cold!

Edit: Also, in if you're off the electrical grid I'm curious about your energy solution. How do you heat your house etc?

did you seriously join SA and put that crazy "like comment and share" social media poo poo in your signature

You know what's not really as much fun as it sounds like after a few months of drought? Three straight days of rain!

That was fun, wasn't it? We got absolutely dumped on Friday and Saturday, Sunday was nice though, aside from worrying that my cars were all going to blow away after seeing the wicked witch of the west fly by the window.
