Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/07

It’s a very cold and crunchy sunday morning here in downtown Frederic. No new snow overnight so that forcast of lake effect everyday for a week starting on this past friday has not panned out so well yet. It was a busy day around frederic on saturday with sleds buzzing around. Of course we still could use more snow but riders were having a good time. I finally talked to one group that rode up to the bridge and thats the first one I have heard of this season.

I dont remember if I posted it or not but the Mackinaw Bridge is not offering their shuttle service for sleds across the bridge this season.

Pics below are from yesterday and I got my first prime rib of this sled season from the Frederic Inn. I got it to go and also got to wear my snowmobile man bib as I tried to eat it. I could only eat about half so guess what is for lunch today.

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 – 02/06

No time like the present to ride, conditions are much better than they have been but we still need alot of new snow to make it better. Really no new snow from all day friday till saturday morning. There was very little new lake effect as predicted in the area around grayling and frederic however the sleds are here, trailer counts this morning were 27 at the Ramada and 5 at the Days Inn. There were alot of sleds in town here yesterday and things are just getting rolling this morning.

In all the years I have been here the alley is usually full of snow with a big mountain of it for sleds to try to ride over, This season I have been plowing the alley down to the gas station which makes it easy access for sleds to get here. Sure wish I could build that pile up big enough for sleds to ride over. Pics below are from the Ramada this morning and Mohawk John who stopped in yesterday and turned out we were wearing the same shirt…..Fashion statements.

Also my rental cottage still has 3 or 4 available nights for next weekend, president weekend.

Thanks for checking in and please ride safely. Pete
