While Boston only got a half-inch of snow this morning, it did have an effect on bikepath ridability, since most of the city's paths have been clear for the past couple of weeks.

Please send updates and reports on the conditions of other paths in Massachusetts to Doug Mink dmink@massbike.org.

Arnold Arboretum 1.5 miles of park roads which are mostly closed to automobile traffic with no intersections Boston Parks and Harvard University	The main road up Bussey Hill from Bussey Brook is torn up for water main construction, so I've been using Walter St. and the paved shoulder of Centre St. to the entrance at the top of the hill. The park roads were snow-packed this morning, and there is still quite a bit of ice on the hairpin turn by the ponds. A day of bright sun should clear most of the road, but the ice has lasted for weeks in places, so beware. Some day, I'll finally get studded snow tires.
Jamaicaway Bikepath 1.5 miles of mostly bike/ped-separated paths paralleling a busy 4-lane parkway; two intersections with traffic lights Boston Parks Deparment	This path was sanded this morning, but there were several inches of drifting snow over it along Jamaica Pond and Daisy Field. There was no snow at all where it goes through the brush north of Willow Pond. The frozen mud bypassing the bollards at Pinebank is still dangerous.
Olmsted Park Paths 3/4-mile of mostly bike/ped-separated paths built over Riverdale Road, across Leverett Pond from the Jamaicaway. Brookline Park Department	I don't think the paths were touched, but they should be pretty ridable.
Muddy River Path 12-foot-wide 0.6 mile shared bike/ped path with no intersections Brookline Park Department and DPW	There was some bare pavement; it looks like it might have been salted lightly.
B.U. Bridge The bridge road lanes are narrow, and the sidewalks are wide and relatively unused by pedestrians.	The western sidewalk of the bridge was clear, as were both approaches. The roadway is clear, too.
Charles River Bikepath Narrow, shared bike-ped path with few intersections Metropolitan District Commission	The wind sweeping down the river seems to have cleared most of the path on the Cambridge side of snow, except around Weekes Footbridge, where it has drifted over the path.
Southwest Corridor Bikepath Separated Bike/Ped path with poorly-designed intersections Metropolitan District Commission	Not checked yet, but it was totally clear on Saturday, so the light snow shouldn't be covering up much ice.
Melnea Cass Bikepath Separated Bike/Ped path Boston Parks or Transportation Deparment	Not checked yet.
Neponset Trail Mostly paved Bike/Ped path Metropolitan District Commission	This path was clear a week ago from the Lower Mills Bridge to Port Norfolk, so it should be ridable. There was a lot of ice on the wooden bridge and upstream of the Adams St. bridge, so getting all of the way to Central Ave. is challenging.
Cambridge Bike Lanes Striped lanes of varying widths on major and connecting streets City of Cambridge	Cars are still parked out from the curb due to remaining snow/ice, so bike lanes are often narrowed.
Fresh Pond Bike Path Parallel to Fresh Pond Parkway in Kingsley Park City of Cambridge	Not checked yet.
Red Line Linear Park Over the Red Line from Alewife Station to Cedar St. Cities of Cambridge and Somerville	Not checked yet.
Minuteman Bikeway From Cambridge through Arlington and Lexington to Bedford Each town	This path is not usually plowed, except sometimes from Lake St. to Alewife Station.
