Does anyone know what the Central Park Drive is like currently? Ice? Snow? Crazy to even think about it?

Thanks!

Anyone familiar with this SciCon hardcase? https://us.sciconbags.com/products/bike-travel-bags-bike-cases/road/aerotech-evolution-tsa

I'm looking to find a shipping box/case that requires the least amount if disassembly and is still protective.
