84 degrees at 1:26pm. My first snake sighting of 2022! S/he did not like their photo taken. Hissed, rattled its tail, opened its mouth at me… It was moving very slowly and soaking up the warm asphault. I waited til it crossed the road to make sure it crossed into the bushes safely.
Whitewater! 67 deg.
under a coverboard. Froze the night before!
