Boston got a couple of inches of snow Monday night, far fewer than the 3-6 predicted as of the end of Monday afternoon. It was around freezing when the snow fell, and the pavement was warm enough to turn much of it to slush. The plows did get out, however, and the paths, except the Charles River Bikepath were better for than.

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 roads were plowed to wet pavement throughout the Arboretum. The wet snow stuck to the trees for one of the most beautiful days of the entire winter/spring snow season.
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 plowed to a wet surface, with slush piled up around the infamous Pine Bank bollards. My trusty avalanche shovel made short work of the slush/dirt piles, and the path is now clear.
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	Both the bike and pedestrian paths were plowed, but the bikepath had a layer of slush this morning.
Muddy River Path 12-foot-wide 0.6 mile shared bike/ped path with no intersections Brookline Park Department and DPW	Plowed to wet pavement.
B.U. Bridge The bridge road lanes are narrow, and the sidewalks are wide and relatively unused by pedestrians.	The bridge sidewalk and approaches were plowed to wet pavement.
Charles River Bikepath Narrow, shared bike-ped path with few intersections Metropolitan District Commission	The path wasn't plowed, but the layer of slush was thin enough to bike through. I saw one cross-country skier trying to get one last day in near the Weekes Footbridge.
Southwest Corridor Bikepath Separated Bike/Ped path with poorly-designed intersections Metropolitan District Commission	Not checked, but probably similar to the Charles River path.
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 isn't plowed, but discussions are under way as to whether the entire path should be plowed.
Cambridge Bike Lanes Striped lanes of varying widths on major and connecting streets City of Cambridge	They're finally clear since the cars are parking close to the curb. The streets, on the other hand, are a mess of potholes.
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	The snow on the path was finally gone last week, so the new snow should melt pretty quickly.
