You do know that the black adder (European adder) is the only snake that lives ABOVE the Arctic Circle? It's poisonous too. So, you might want to rethink your moving plans if you're wanting to avoid snakes.
Antarctica might be a better choice.

Oh, and I almost forgot, there's another place on the planet to go where there isn't any snakes.
Ireland. They speak English, it gets cold, but the weather is fairly nice for a good part of the year, and there's a lot of fun touristy things to do. edit and after a little more googling (because even though I knew Ireland didn't have snakes, I thought it couldn't be the only one) I found the other places that don't have snakes. New Zealand, Hawaii, Greenland, Iceland, and the aforementioned Antarctica. If it were me, I'd go to either New Zealand, or Ireland, or Hawaii. I wouldn't need a passport for Hawaii, but New Zealand actually sounds a lot more fun. Ireland would be cool because I'd be able to do a lot of genealogy research at the source.

As 3rd generation Irish armed with my Grandfather's birth certificate was going to adopt there but got pregnant with twins! Visiting Ireland still on my bucket list. No snakes is just icing on the cake!!!

My house is fine, as are the neighbors and my folks and aunt and uncle did fine too. No power or potable water for me, folks got power last night and my aunt and uncle had water from a well along with a generator but they also got power last night, so the DH is heading out now to borrow theirs. Not a lot of damage as far as structures go, a few business lost parts of their roofs, but nothing flattened, there's quite a bit of flooding and many many many trees down on power lines and even a few vehicles and homes, but we all survived it seems thus far. We run on ga power that covers the whole state and as of 11 am there was still 775,000 power outages
![]() Other than that though my house and the street I'm on looks like nothing more than a typical afternoon thunderstorm, next street over looks like someone bombed the place (poorly though since they missed the houses but caught all the trees). But st Mary's is a royal mess, again most houses were spared, but lots of flooding and trees are down everywhere, boats sunk and stranded on land it's horrible there will be a long time getting it cleaned up

Glad Irma didn't get you too bad. Many people don't realize just how far inland a powerful hurricane can wreak havoc. I lived 3 1/2 hours NW from New Orleans when Katrina hit there. We were without power for 5 days due to wind taking down power lines.
Ugh, flooding in an area that already has snakes! And did you know that ants will float in big piles?
