I rode halfway home with a neighbor in lightly falling snow on Monday night on paths which were just starting to get a layer of snow and streets which were still clear. By Tuesday morning, there was a significant amount of snow, and after an hour-long 9:00 am telecon, I shovelled 3-4 inches of the couple of hundred feet of sidewalk around my corner and to my front and back doors. It was pretty light and almost fluffy, the kind of snow which plows pretty cleanly, leaving a residue on pavement which often melts in the sun.

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

I suspect that those on Belgrade Ave., Walk Hill St., and Cummins Highway will be clear, I'm not as sure about the buffered bike lanes on American Legion Highway.

There was some drifting north of Willow Pond Road by Daisy Field, and I fell when I biked off the edge of the pavement. Wednesday morning, I followed Perkins St. to the the Brookline side, but the path looked icy, so I stayed on the street until just before the Route 9 crossing and followed a slightly icy path to Brookline Ave.
Prince St. A future contraflow lane around high-speed Parkman Drive which feeds into the Perkin St. bike lanes Boston DPW	The street is probably clear, but I am avoiding it when the temperature is below freezing because I fell last week on a patch of slick ice which stretched all of the way across the road at the intersection with Perkins St.
