I just did my commute again this morning. It was nice for several reasons - it was cool, slightly misty and I was riding the Masi.

Encountered one obstacle, a huge oak tree fallen across the Minuteman Bikeway just west of Arlington and completely blocking the path. A lot of commuter are going to be scrambling through the bordering bushes this morning.
