The snowsnake then...are ya ready for this?.....they then....crawl up your butt and freeze you to death!!

- March 12, 2013, 18:24:23 PMQuotewell I think that is really not that nice to speak of 49 in such a manner, he is really deep down a nice fella. Notice that it was himself who hijacked my thread about a serious question to snakes and snow, and tar snakes to top it off. Poor JH he is going to think all Montonians are like him.....confussed.....What ever happened to the Abominable Snow man who ate these snow snakes?...or the famous Big Foot who could shread tires with his bare hands

- March 12, 2013, 17:57:46 PMAt least on this side of the water, road gators are the parts of semi truck tires that somehow get separated from the rest of the tire...tar snakes are the strips of sealant or rubber insulators put between road sections, or more properly, the patch stuff the highway department puts in to "fix" cracks, that works it's way out, or remains slippery through out it's life span.

- March 12, 2013, 17:46:48 PMThe only snow snakes we get are yellow..
And how did we get from a sensible question about electrical connections to balderdash..
And are tar snakes just smaller road gators..

- March 12, 2013, 17:25:27 PMOk..ok...ok......is the object of this conversation to confuse the hell out of everyone because I'm lost that's for sure.Never mind trying to spell all these unfamiliar names....trying to pronounce them is a whole nother story.What ever happened to the Abominable Snow man who ate these snow snakes?...or the famous Big Foot who could shread tires with his bare hands causing more tar snakes then one could shake a stick at........ahhhhh never mind .....

- March 09, 2013, 10:12:41 AMok let us answer this in order.....
JH = snow snakes can not be seen on the snow then they are like the Ptarmigan is the common name of birds of the genus Lagopus, it may refer to: Rock Ptarmigan, Lagopus muta, known as Ptarmigan in Europe; Willow Ptarmigan, Lagopus lagopus, or Willow Grouse; White-tailed Ptarmigan, Lagopus leucura, restricted to United States and Canada.
Bake that is not a snow snake it is not white.
tar snakes are made on the road........
ok I used to play with snow snakes as a child into my teen years it is a very interesting game amoung the natives in Northern Canada.

As far as the snowhawk, I was referring to the ridge of snow that develops on your car hood or roof as you drive through a blizzard.....I've never seen a snow snake, but plenty of tar snakes.

So Iroquois (Haudenosaunee) Nations had a legend of the deadly and teriffying snow snake. They are while in colour and lay hidden on the top of fresh fallen snow and blend right in. Often Onondaga men travel to the different communities of the Haudenosaunee to hunt this fantastic animal, they have a really awesome flavour if cooked with wild onions and garlic. The snakes are only 3/4 of an inch in diameter so hunters are very careful to get the best snakes, this size seems to make the best meals, they grow to be at least 6 ft long however. You can google this and see if I am right. I can say that as a child growing up in a norhtern commuinity we actually had dealings with snowsnake.
ok after this I will get back to my mod on this subject
Who was the first man to look at a snail and say I wonder if that would taste better with salt on it..
