They're related, biologically or at least in the literature, to snipes
and other stuff.
I suppose there is some real thinking behind the legends, though --
because it's very common to see tracks in the snow -- tracks that
wiggle and meander as might a snake's. But the culprit is the vole, a
little mouse-like creature that tunnels along about an inch or so
under the surface of the snow. A couple of beers and the vole tunnels
might well look like something left behind by a snow snake.
Further deponent sayeth not.
