Snow Snakes?!?!?!

This is the most snow I've ever seen on the ground in my entire life. I don't know where it all is coming from, or where it's all going to go, but it just keeps coming down. It's another snow day for Ray too (which I'm a big fan of). There has to be more than 4 feet of snow on the ground and more than 6 feet where the snow has drifted! My car was totally buried this morning. The way it looks right now we'll be getting another foot EASY.

I've found this topic to be quite funny to discuss. Last week as we were driving down the road (yes, it was snowing a bit during this drive) and there was snow a blowin' all over the road. Ray said, "wouldn't it be crazy if there were snakes that only came out when it was snowing?" This comment really intrigued both of us and we've been thinking about and discussing the concept ever since. That night I had a dream about the "snow snakes" and since have come up with a full description of these evil creatures. The "snow snake" only comes out when there is snow on the ground and can only travel where there is snow, so if it is falling they can go wherever they want. They're very mean, predatory creatures and all animals are prey to them, including humans. They're pure white with white beady eyes. You can't see them coming because they camouflage completely in the snow. When snow isn't falling they live in the snow banks. Be careful when wading through snow, these truly evil creatures will get you! I've actually had a dream about this...and Ray has thought about them when scraping his car. What's even funnier is that I said we should look snow snakes up on the internet to see if anything came up - THERE REALLY ARE SNOW SNAKES (they actually have red eyes)! Here's a picture of one and check out this website for more details.
