The Overholser/Hefner trail seems to equally be in good shape.  However, on the on-street portion of the path on Wilshire between Rockwell and Northwest Expressway, there was a considerable about a slush and standing water.  Be very careful on this portion if you are riding early in the morning.

The Hefner trail is pretty good but there were a few areas, especially near the golf course where I saw standing water on the trail that might get frozen up tonight.  However, overall both the trail and the road route seem very clear.
