Hi Don,
That's a tough one. Referring to Winter Nature Notes for Nova Scotians by
Merritt Gibson and taking into account your measurements, the closest thing
would be an otter (though other weasel types have that side-by-side track
pattern). I suppose an otter could be in your area, depending on where in
Halifax you live. Where there any plows through the snow, further down the
line of tracks?
