When I opened the front door to get the paper, I saw a row of paw prints, each single print followed by another, all in a straight line. Each print is about 2 inches wide and the prints were about 8 inches apart. The critter came all the way up on the front porch then seems to have walked away immediately. The closest match I can find on the web is an otter. Some populate the wetlands down the street. Might also be a skunk. It's something with five pads. Too big to be a squirrel I think. Any guesses? https://www.photo.net/photo/18526825/Paw-print-in-snow
Best guess I can come up with based on searching the internet for five toed mammals is something from the family Mustelidae, which would include the Striped Skunk.
