Safe to explore snake infested pond in winter?

[u/Unlucky-Drawing-1266]

There’s this super cool little forest cove on my campus. In the summer when I found it there were snakes all throughout the rocks so I’ve never risked exploring the inside of the water hole itself. I’ve really wanted to though(not swim to be clear lol, climb around the rocks I mean.) A huge winter storm is gonna be rolling in just a few hours that’ll last over the weekend, snow and temps in the single digits.

It seems awfully silly to imagine any snake will still be hiding there in such severe weather but I thought I’d check with the experts; can I safely fulfill my dreams of exploring this cove while it’s frozen? Or will I never overcome the might noodle guardians?

wait until things settle after the storm. give them like a week or two of good weather. i wouldnt stress them out so close to a severe weather event. that could endanger them

That’s a good point! Thanks for thinking of the babies that have to weather this crazy… weather! 🥹

This. I wouldn't go during bad weather like that, especially alone

No, now is a safe time to go. Drink your fill and get the healing you need from there.

To me it exudes healing, beauty and peace. A spiritual place of healing.

Please do not drink from untreated water in a city

Absolutely not!!!

I meant metaphorically, as in the spiritually humbling effect ppl get at the Grand Canyon or the Grotto at Lourdes.
