FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/01

It was a very cold and crunchy start to this morning. It was up to 38 again yesterday and it softened things up but then very cold last night and that made everything ruttty and hard. I have had 3 sleds in here this morning that said they were getting hot and thats because they arent getting snow up in there to lube them up.Its now up to 21 degrees so that may help get things lubing again. First thing this morning there 3 guys all on old XLT’s. Havent seen 3 of them together in a long time. We might get a little snow later today according to weather. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

FROM Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> 📡 Statewide radar loop through 10 AM today (11/9) shows our two distinct snowmakers in progress.
The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey

Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/31

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/31

It’s 10:30 on a sunny 27 degree friday morning in downtown Frederic. I got here just after nine and there were about 15 or so sleds lined up at the swamp heading out for a pretty large group ride. Yesterday it was up to 41 and gave us more melting and settling than I would like to see but things have held up pretty well. Not sure what today is going to do. Wednesday things were so perfect and thursday was good too. Next system snow isnt till next wednesday. Both days inn in grayling and Ramada only had 2 trailers each at them. So same old blah, blah, blah. You have to take what we get and make the best of it. Yesterday a couple brought in a new saddle bag off of a 2025 ski doo and it did have a name in it. I posted it on my Sledheads facebook page and in 20 minutes he came walking in the door. Jeff Bartell was the guy and he would love to talk to the couple that turned it in so if they read this please call me and I will put you in touch with him. Also when Jeff came in with his group of guys I told him he had to identify the odd thing that was in the bag. His whole crew laughed as they knew what it was and there is a pic below of him holding it. He was very happy to get it back.Thats about it for today so lets hope we hold the snow we have. Thanks for checking in. Pete
