Still similar as of an hour ago. It would make things so much better if @minneapolismn.gov and Mpls Park Board would go and plow the slush when it loosens up today so it doesn't keep refreezing into ruts. At least the lights on Samatar Crossing work again. #mspcyclecast

W River Pkwy path was covered in rutted slop that's freezing up tonight. Used the road instead because it's dry. Bike lane and south sidewalk are pretty good on Lake St Bridge. Lots of icy patches throughout as everything freezes up. #mspcyclecast

Sidewalks are AWFUL this morning.
Every property that had uncleared snow yesterday (vast majority near me) is now covered in 1-3” of slush &/or water. Bare concrete is sheer ice.
Wear waterproof boots, yak trax & plan for more of a workout given the difficulty of walking in slush.

Freezing rain is ICE glazing everything a little bit. Studded tires required tonight #mspcyclecast
I expect road conditions to go downhill significantly over the night, so if you can stay off the roads tonight, I would strongly encourage doing that.

Mendota Bridge rideable but somewhat sloppy

Minnehaha Ave: Damp pavement w/ icy patch in lane. Parked cars or loose snow in bike lane.
Midtown Greenway 28th-33rd: Skim coat of snow.

Only reliably bikeable with studs. Mashed potatoes forming in my corner of Highland Park but better than yesterday. #mspcyclecast
St. Paul street report: 50% compacted snow, 50% ice, even on arterial streets. Not safe to drive.

Biked to work today. Roads this morning were bumpy, the slush causing me to lose control of my bike. In some cases, I had to dismount because the snow was too high.
I rode home this afternoon. Better than this morning. Some roads were still slippery.

Didn't go far but it's take the lane season and the tire tracks on Cleveland were icy with mashed potatoes everywhere else. Lots of loose snow on Prior and St Clair but it should either get packed down or get plowed within the next few hours. #mspcyclecast

I usually don’t post reports without someone riding on it first, but I figured just after a snowfall this would be helpful for some people. Be careful out there!

Pretty icy out today, especially on sidewalks and bike paths. Studs, good boots, and taking it slow help a lot. Stay upright out there. #MSPCyclecast

Refreezing throughout but Prior Ave bike lanes, S Cleveland Ave bike lanes, and Marshall Ave bike/bus lane are mostly clear except where cars are parked. W River Pkwy, Franklin, and Riverside were almost dry except for parked cars in the way.

Go across mainland St Paul if possible. Rapidly freezing mixed slush/compacted snow conditions, quickly worsening with dropping temps.
