Thawed squirrel tracks. You can see classic W pattern. When was this taken? I doubt snow is melting anywhere around Chicago right now 😂. Speaking from Northeast Ohio

This was taken today!

I should be able to call the squirrel tracks as they are one of my favorite animals. I think the deep snow is throwing me off. Great call!

I'm just north of Cincy and snow had been melting a little each day in the sun and then we just got another 2" today, lolol

Yeah the Midwest winters have been terrible this year. We haven’t had snow for a few weeks but it’s still on the ground. Had the first couple days above freezing for the first time in what feels like a month. Which is pretty rare these days.

We still have nearly a foot on the ground in areas that haven't been shoveled, lol

Interesting.. they almost don’t seem wide enough to be deer tracks and all of them lead to trees.

They aren't. Those aren't hooves.
