In force in SW PA. Well not the past 2 40 something degree days, but, bunches over the weekend. Cat brought 3 different ones to the porch. AND, I'm not quite finished putting all my wood up. 8 yr old, 12 yr old, 15 yr old in every activity imaginable leaves little time for my work. Plus, to me, a 6" garter snake may as well be a menacing pit viper in my book.
