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?

For the last few years, Arlington has agreed to clear the entire path within its boundaries. Lexington signed on to do this as well, but has not been nearly as competent.

Cambridge and Somerville both clear their sections of the path quickly.

...which is not to say it isn't icy and treacherous, merely that it's not regularly hip-deep in snow...

AFAIK Lexington has no intention of clearing the path. It's done privately, funded by donations, with some cooperation from the city to open the path for the machinery.
