There had been discussion of more allocation of resources to clear snow from "mixed use" (that is, bike) trails, but I had not realized this could include pre-treatment before the snow. On my way home today, turning off the Mount Vernon Trail onto the trail along Four Mile Run, I noticed the tell-tale lines on the pavement indicating some kind of vehicle had come through and applied some kind of treatment in advance of the snow's arrival.

Looking away from Shirlington, you can see the application of some sort of liquid treatement both coming and going
Apparently this is where the vehicle turned around since a fair amount was spilled.

Looking towards Shirlington, you can see that the narrower trail means just one direction of application
I have no idea how helpful this will be. Find out tomorrow, most likely.
