SW Path unplowed as of 9 a.m., but the many riders who came through earlier 
have created usable singletracks going each way. I was impressed how many 
people were riding in 4 inches of unplowed snow. I saw four others there when 
I reached the path. Five years ago when we moved to the near west side, I 
didn't see nearly as many tracks in the snow, or riders.
 
I only rode on the section west of the Monroe/Regent intersection; don't know 
about the Missing Link part.

City snow message below, fyi.

Snow Plowing Updates 
by Chris Kelley, Interim Streets Superintendent  
posted February 24, 2012 5:05 AM
NO SNOW EMERGENCY BUT RESIDENTIAL STREETS TO BE PLOWED!


As of 4:30 am, we have close to 3 1/2" of snow on the ground. The worst portion 
of the storm appears to be over. Our newest forecast is calling for maybe 
another 1/2" or so throughout the rest of the morning. With the pavement 
temperature above freezing, the snow that does fall for the rest of the morning 
should be light and hopefully will melt as it falls on the main streets.

We will begin plowing all residential streets in the City at 7am today. We want 
to get the snow off the pavement on the residential streets as soon as possible 
so that there will be less ice formed from traffic driving on the untreated 
residential streets and compacting the snow into ice. We hope to have all 
residential streets plowed by 5 pm tonight.

We will not declare a Snow Emergency as a result of this storm. We feel that 
the warmer temperatures forecasted will negate the need to declare a Snow 
Emergency for the next two nights.

Remember that this snow is heavy and wet with a lot of moisture in it. There 
will be "snow boulders" rolling off the plows and there will be quite a bit of 
wet and heavy snow at the bottom of all of our driveways to shovel. Please use 
caution when you shovel today as this snow is full of water and very heavy.
