Is the Cape Cod Rail Trail clear of snow?
Can anyone tell me if the Cape Cod Rail Trail is clear of snow? I'm thinking of heading down this weekend for a ride. FWIW there's 2' of snow in my yard up in NH.
Thanks!
Thanks!

was out there last weekend, Eastham - Ptown, but not on the trail. didn't see any snow anywhere. only ice was on the marsh grass & some frozen spray on driftwood at a bay beach. windy & cold tho! if you look at the temps for the cape also consider the exposure to wind, so cover up. anyway that would be my plan. remember you're out over the ocean in many respects. this morning's weather showed some ocean effect squalls/flurries but don't think they'd accumulate
I've been surprised/disappointed by wind predictions. for example Orleans supposed to be 40s w/ only 7mph wind, but I'll bet the wind will be worse & it will feel like 30s. gorgeous & sunny but any exposed skin might hurt. if you go please share cuz there's lots of us in-landers who love the trail!
side note, my Sister & I have a pact, if we're ever on the fence about going to the cape, but have clearance from obligations & family, then GO!

heard the cape is gonna get rough weather tonight, incl a little bit of the wet white stuff. probably the last of it for the year. good time to get out there today (maybe ride?) & then hunker down with a friend for the weekend, in a cabin w/ a fireplace.
