Yeah, warmer weather is nice, but it's prime conditions for snakes to pop up, especially on or near the pavement, like a walking trail. And a walking trail with water nearby.
Snakes are a part of life in these parts. I haven't seen one out in the wild in quite some time, but I hear and I see about incidents with snakes, real ones, all the time. A listener caught this incident on video outside the Ohio County Health Department in Hartford.
