First thing that popped into my mind was the New Madrid Fault. It blessed the area in question with three 8.0+ events between December 1811 and February 1812 ... I wonder what the snakes know

Global warming is about to be debunked big time with the coming ice age.
I thought at first this was about the democrat copper heads. They have a long history of fifth column support for the enemy, as in, the American civil war, Vietnam, and now for the terrorists.

Interesting - I have noticed a lot more snakes around my property this year than in the past, and the last month has been the busiest. I'm on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

They are gathing to talk about when they were so poor they didn't have a pot to hiss in.

I wonder what the snakes know That is a good addition to the mix for the tin foil crowd. As I recall, those events caused the Mississippi River to run backward for a time with considerable flooding.

**The best guess, Trauth said, is the snakes are moving to hibernate as usual - they're just doing it earlier than normal.**
Maybe they are just REALLY REALLY sleepy?
Hope it's not b/c cold weather's getting here sooner than usual.

Copperheads were pro slavery northern democrats during the civil war. They are still treacherous.

Its been extremely hot in Missouri this summer and the same in Arkansas. The oaks have dropped most of their acorns early around our place and we are losing leaves on some of our trees. Could be that the heat is having the same impact on the snakes.The acorns hit them in the head and they think the sky is falling.

I was thinking the same thing. I am glad that I live on the other side of the state.

If that zoology professor messes with them too much the snakes are liable to throw a hisssy fit.

"I know for a fact that all these snakes didn't just wake up one day and do this," said Chuck Miller, whose Marion County yard has been overrun with the pitvipers. Sounds lovely. Wish I could find a trailer and tow it to Arkansas to make a new home.

The snakes are trying to make hiss-tory. I think they are making Asp's out of themselves.
They could catch 'em and lock 'em up but they would probably just scale the walls and get loose again.

My leaves are already starting to fall.Trees around here are doing the same thing. Summer wasn't TOTALLY dry. Bet an extremely cold winter is in store.
To: tx_eggman
We are on the same thought! Either the Yellowstone volcano or the New Madrid Fault. Any idea if there have been tremors lately?
