riding bike on community path/minuteman trail in the winter

Does anyone commute on the community path/minuteman trail into Arlington who would like to comment on its bikability after snowstorms?  Do Cambridge/Arlington sections differ from Somerville?

When I lived in Arlington Center and commuted to Alewife, I was impressed by how quickly the Minuteman was cleared of snow. They usually cleared it just as quickly as the roads.

Whenever I run on the path in winter, I'm always surprised how no one clears the path past Arlington Center (after the path crosses Mass Ave going northward.)

I commute it, and most of the time it's plowed, but not salted. So there is often a thin layer of snow.

The exceptions have been when there's been a major storm and Arlington has not got to it in time - it seems to be one of the lowest priority routes.
