Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/10

A nice chilly minus 6 this morning at Lake Margrethe, and of course no new snow. Weather is now calling for a small system snow on friday along with all the lake effect that has been predicted but hasnt shown up yet. I took off from the shop here in Frederic yesterday afternoon and took the long loop back to grayling around 679 and 79 and trail was pretty decent. Got on to Lake Margrethe out by Mcintyres Landing and took a partial loop around the lake. Quite a bit of snow on it now compared to the last time I was on it a couple weeks ago. My finger tips were getting cold so after 25 miles I ended up at home and then stayed put.

I drove back up here to get some things in my truck and figured it was time for me to try a set of gaunlets on my sled. I have already had riders in here this morning and pic below is a rider this morning from Genoa Ohio. Also one trailer out back already but I am going to try for another ride this afternoon.

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 – 02/08

It’s noon thirty in downtown Frederic on a cold and calm monday now afternoon. Been on the phone alot this morning. Yet another day without another new flake of snow. Weather still saying lake effect everyday for another week but so far it has been 4 days with no lake effect around this area.

I thought about another u.p. trip this week but the snow is no better there than it is here so I guess if I am going to ride in the next day or two I might as well do it around here. Sunday sled traffic was light in Frederic and that is not unusual for superbowl sunday as everyong leaves early. This coming weekend is presidents weekend which usually brings a good crowd. Time will tell on that. The very first year I was open here in 97 I closed Valentines weekend and went to the u.p. riding because there was not a flake of snow or white here.

Luckily that was the only year that happened and even if it stays the way it is the riding is what I would give an o.k rating to. We just have to take what we have. So thats it for today.

Thanks for checking in. Pete
