Eliza Furnace trail is pretty well melted down to the pavement west of Hot Metal, with some intermittent snowy and icy patches at the gravel edges and an icy stretch between South Side Works and the Birmingham Bridge. East of Hot Metal it's a bit more touch-and-go, with a fair amount of ice that manages to blend into larger areas of pavement and snow.
Lower Panther Hollow is dangerously icy, but passable at the edges where you can still dig in a bit on the snow. I wouldn't advise venturing in without spikes.
Upper Panther Hollow is worse, with the snowy edges thinning completely in sections. Don't risk it.
Bridle Trail is just pure, slick, skateable ice. There may be some patches of dirt, hay and snow here and there, but they offer only false hope. Just avoid it.
I haven't been to Frick or Riverview in recent days, so I can't speak to those.
Today's rain and dropping temps in the days to come do not bode well...

thanks for the update -- I am heading out on the Eliza Furnace trail today at lunch, hoping today's snow adds some traction. I will add the the North Shore trail was pretty well iced over, as of Sunday
