The trails are usually plowed fairly quickly. Minneapolis prides itself on its pedestrian and bike trails. However, they often only plow one or the other so it's more common for peds to be sharing the same trail in the winter so you have to be more careful.

This year might be different as we've already had 3 big snowfalls and technically winter hasn't even started yet. If they start to run over their plowing budget, they may start cutting back.

Bike lanes are useless once the snow piles up. Cars are forced to park farther from the curb and onto the bike lanes.
