Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/15

Not a flake of new snow overnight and there is a misty drizzle in the air. Maybe 1 to 3 coming overnight. I will believe that when I see it.

The only positive thing is the weather is showing snow every day for the next week but most of it lake effect. I would pretty much chalk up this MLK weekend as a junk weekend. If you happen to come up anyways stop by here to make sure I am awake. I can feel a boring weekend coming on.

Today’s pics are of the places that have tents and outdoor seating if you want to go that route. Everyone has take out too. Maybe we will get a winter surprise but don’t hold your breath. So many calls from people that want tor ride but cant. 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 – 01/13

It’s hard, icy and slick out there, after the drizzle yesterday things seemed to get harder and slicker. Now it looks like we will be lucky to get some snow on friday and then lake effect for the next few days after that. Will it make it rideable? who know but you can bet it will be slick underneath.

It’s still bad enough to bring the death count for this season to 5 now. One in Cheboygan and two more in the u.p. Just remember its almost always speed as the main factor and many times alcohol too. So when you do get to ride this season think of these five people that have already lost their lives this short season. Pics below I took out front this morning, when and you try to walk into most anywhere its probably best to shuffle your feet along on the ice.

Thanks for checking in and PLEASE RIDE SAFELY if we ever get rideable snow. Pete
