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.
I'm lucky in that most of my riding is above the Valley. Coming in from Greene County, I see no flooding on the paths. Snow, however, is a different story. The path from Yellow Springs to Xenia gets very little direct sunlight. So, snow will hang around for quite a while. I pretty much don't ride that stretch at all from Winter Break until early March.
