Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/03

Coming at you this morning from Strongs at the Clarke Motel. Another one of my favorite places. Snow is way better here in Frederic but still weak for the u.p. Got here yesterday afternoon and took a short 40 mile round trip ride to Hulbert and watched the deer there.

It’s a chilly 8 degrees this morning so I will wait a bit till I head out. Heading toward Raco and Brimley for todays ride. Pics below are all from last night. The snow depth guage at the Chippewa Snow Chasers groomer barn is a sad indicator of what this winter has been. I did see 2 of their groomers out on the trails last night. Also in the pics below look at the track cleats and clips on that groomer, that is what I call heavy duty. It looks like the snow is going to start hitting us on thursday in Frederic so maybe we will actually get some snow for this coming weekend. Mo Mo Nah Chee Chee Nah……Riding here out of the motel is a great starting spot in the u.p. as its only about 50 minutes past the bridge. Come up and stay with Mike and Jana and see the most unique motel in the u.p.

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 – 02/02

One more time and its still the same, sunny and a cold 18 degrees and of course not a flake of snow. Still looking like snow is gonna hit us thursday but a chance of rain mix in there. Time will tell. I still am surprised how white had held up and trails even though being flat and hard that the ice is holding down in there. I only saw a couple sleds yesterday. So I will end it here as I am just saying the same old thing. thanks for checking in. Pete
