Actually even a mile or two south of the GWB the Greenway is usually in crappy condition over the winter. I would know, as I live a block from the GWB, and used to go running at night on the Greenway over the winters. I probably won't be running much this winter because I bike commute now! I've switched to Schwalbe Marathon tires on my folder in advance of cruddy winter weather and will probably avoid the northern most sections of my Greenway commute for a couple of days after a storm (or more -- in the past I've seen stretches of snow and ice stick around for weeks!).
