Copperhead snakes are migrating 2-3 months earlier than usual in Arkansas and scientists can't explain why:

It happens every year: large numbers of copperheads gather and move in unison to dens for hibernation. But it happens in October, not July or August. Now the common event has become an uncommon and inexplicable one.

"I know for a fact that all these snakes didn't just wake up one day and do this," said Chuck Miller, whose Marion County yard has been overrun with the pitvipers. "Something's making them do it. They know something we don't know. There's got to be something more to this."

It may not mean anything but you have to think that it probably does. Why would their migration patterns be altered so drastically for no reason? It's not like we've had a cold summer this year or anything of that nature. Do they know something we don't? The animals knew when the tsunami was coming before the humans did. I think we should pay extra attention to what could be causing the snakes to do this.

The end is nearb you still have a couple months. The Apocalypse doesn't hit until October 4. I have an e-mail to prove it.

My parents said something last week about seeing birds migrating already (Oregon).

Strange.

you should post this stuff in highly technical. people in OT are typically way too stupid to have anything intelligent to say about a topic such as this.

The Day After Tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised since the cycle is supposed to happen pretty soon in the grand scale of things.

Nearly 100 of the snakes are using a cedar tree as a sort of meeting place, and neither Miller, an outdoorsman and former snake owner, nor scientists who have traveled to the rural north central Arkansas site to study the phenomenon, know why.

I just noticed ladybugs in the house. It's odd for them to be coming in so early.
Shifts in nature happen that we can't determine. I know that's difficult to imagine being as we're all so super-intelligent, but it's fact.
It doesn't mean anything is screwed up.
Maybe the ladybugs and copperheads are packing it in early because they can't take the kids on vacation this summer because of the gas prices?

Actually, I have noticed a few ladybugs in our house already... this is way too early for them to come in most of the time. I figured that they were just an insane few that decided to find shelter early or something.

I have an feasible explanation. Global warming causes the ranges of plants and animals to move toward the poles, where day length is shorter. Most animals and plants use day/night length as a seasonal indicator, not temperature. They think winter is coming because of the longer nights and shorter days they are experiencing.

I wouldn't read too much into this, it's Arkansas. You can't trust anyone from Arkansas to know left from right or up from down. Until now the snakes have had more sense than the people, now that's changed.
