The upside is the snow here usually only sticks to pavement from Christmas through the end of February.
After the initial snowfall, people will ski on the paths, so I don't think they would plow right away. Unfortunately, the skis leave ruts which typically ice over and make any other use of the trail impossible.
Many of the paths are also in flood control zones. This year we had so much rain that some were flooded for a while, but this is the first year in five that I've experienced that.
