My vet told me today that there was a bad ice storm in '03 that kicked out a bunch of power around here. She said the office was flooded with birds and reptiles with respiratory illnesses and that even as little as 12 hours of cold can cause a snake to become ill.

I would hope that's the exception, not the rule... but it's very important to keep snakes at the proper temperatures and maintain good husbandry otherwise.
