FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23

It’s a nice 18 degrees out this morning in downtown frederic with a fresh 4 inches of lake effect. While I am never to thrilled about that things look very nice out there and its all we have. Temps will be good for riding this weekend and after the brutal minus 15 we had the past few days this is quite welcome. Things are supposed to stay decent with a little snow fall the next week. I only wish we could have got blasted the way downstate did by kzoo. My brother has been plowing for 3 days and I wanted to take my sled down there to ride but didnt want to try those minus temps. Dress warm, wear a back brace and you should be good. Thats the best I can tell you. I am actually getting my plow truck out today and gonna clean up a bit around Sledheads. I havent had it out in a week as I wanted what little snow we had to get packed down. 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 – 01/20

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/20

A sunny and very crunchy minus 4 degrees on MLK day in downtown frederic. I took a ride thru grayling this morning and the pic below is a bunch of frosty sleds parked at the Ramada. Sled traffic yesterday was steady all day. We only had a half inch of new snow in Frederic overnight but I talked to a guy that was out by Manistee Lake and he said they got about a foot all day yesterday. I guess frederic is out of the way of the snow maker in the sky. Trail crossings I looked at on the way here were still nice and white and you can thank the extra cold temps for that. Still the same story yesterday with both good and bad trails but everyone enjoying what they can. Thanks for checking in. Pete
