It snowed about two inches Saturday night in Boston, and this is the first time this year when the snow has stuck for more than 24 hours. I was out only briefly on Sunday, but checked out a number of paths on my way to work this morning, and they were all plowed. I still haven't put by studded tires on my bike, but if this snow doesn't melt off the paths today, there will be ice tonight.

Please send updates and reports on the conditions of other paths in Massachusetts to Jessica Mink.

Parkway and Netherlands Rd. Contraflow bike lanes Two one-block contra-flow lanes plus and contraflow cycle track Brookline Park Department and DPW	The bike lanes were admirably plowed, all of the way to the curb, but the cycle track at the intersection of these streets was unplowed.
Muddy River Path 12-foot-wide 0.6 mile shared bike/ped path with no intersections Brookline Park Department and DPW	Plowed but wet. This could freeze at night, so watch out.

Bridge to the Eliot Bridge. Between Western Ave. and Harvard Square, it was plowed to the full width of the pavement, elsewhere a bit narrower. Truck vs. Bombardier?

South Bay Harbor Trail Bike/Ped path from the Federal Court House up Fort Point Channel to the Southwest Corridor City of Boston	Not checked yet, but I suspect that the section in front of the Crosstown Development near Mass. Ave. will be done, and the path will be clear where it goes under the Expressway.
Neponset Trail Mostly paved Bike/Ped path Department of Conservation and Recreation, Division of Urban Parks and Recreation	Not checked but probably plowed after the snow stops. There is a Bombardier stationed at Pope John Paul II Park which is usually out as soon as the snow stops.

Minuteman "Commuter Bikeway" Towns of Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, and Bedford	Rod Holland reports on Sunday night: Rode the Minuteman Trail from Arlington Center to Lexington Center today, in the early afternoon. At that point, both the Arlington and Lexington stretches had been plowed, but with different results. The Arlington section was more or less uniformly covered by a thin, compacted snow layer, with a high coefficient of rolling friction. The Lexington section had more patches of bare pavement, but also more icy bits. Conditions varied somewhat by lane, with traffic funneling into the lane with the better surface, at times. Passable, with a little caution, and kinder to some kinds of tires than others; I was running 26" Nokian W240's, kind of an outlier case, but saw other bikes and tracks of various widths in the snow. Conditions will, of course, change continuously as the temperature yo-yos over the coming hours and days. Details are usually posted at http://www.clearthetrail.org

Stony Brook Reservation Hyde Park 4+ miles of paved bikepaths Mass. Department of Conservation and Recreation Division of Urban Parks and Recreation	These paths aren't plowed because they get relatively little transportation use and because they are used by cross-country skiers like me. There are marked narrow bike lanes on Enneking Parkway through the reservation which are probably clear. The Boston Natural Areas Network and the Friends of Stony Brook Reservation are leading a walk from Enneking Parkway at Smith Field Road at 1:00 pm on Sunday, January 29.

If the storm is significant, then they plow it repeatedly --sometimes 10-12 times during the course of the storm to ensure its usability.
