Deer tracks are easily identifiable tracks in Virginia due to the hoof print. Wild boar (introduced to North America by European immigrants) tracks are similar but are unlikely to find most places. The known wild boar range includes some counties in West Virginia. There are also reports of wild boar on Virginia beaches.

The snow covered deer returned later in the afternoon and I took a couple additional photos.

1/30/2010 Snow Totals
Here at Old Dominion Wildlife HQ, we picked up 5″ of snow. Other areas of Virginia picked up more as Capital Climate reports:
Blacksburg VA 11.3″
Richmond VA 8.0″s
Norfolk VA 6.1″
Wallops Island VA 10.0″
My friend MaryBeth in Richmond measured over 11″ so the RIC airport reading appears to understate the accumulation in the Richmond area.
More Snow Coming
CapitalWeatherGang details two more chances of snow, tonight and again Friday/Saturday.
Deer in the Snow
The snow pack is thinning out in sunny areas and today I saw some deer foraging for something to eat:
