I was thinking the same thing Jeff. I live in MA. also and I have yet to see a snake in the snow. In this region we are below 30 degrees for several months. In southern areas, such as Texas,FLA., and Mexico, the temps drop overnight and reheat in the daytime so the GROUND TEMPS never get that cold. We have building codes here about how deep you have to dig a footing for a building structure. That is based on how deep the frost generally goes. Snakes in this area I assume go beyond that point depth wise. Just an assumption but I've been snake hunting for over 30 years and I always am in the field and yet to observe ANY snake sunning itself. Ground temps are one thing but wind chill is another.
