Snake tracks in the snow?

Hello all, I have a question for any snake experts out there.

So I noticed tonight what appears to be snake tracks leading to (or from) the porch of my condo into the little stand of woods we have in the back yard. These are tracks in the snow that would look like a bicicle wheel had been rolled across the 10 feet or so from the porch to the woods. They're about 2-3 inches wide, about an inch deep. The weird thing is that there's about a 5 foot track leading out from the woods, that then branches off, eventually coming to underneath my porch. I cant think of anything else this might be other than a snake, as there are no other markings beside it.

I've attached a drawing that should kind of explain the tracks.

So, is anyone that's familiar with snakes, agree? FYI, I live in the Kansas City area, and it's been around 30 to 40 degrees out lately. Thanks for any help, trying to decide if I need to call animal control.
