Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/11

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/11

Friday during the day brought us 1 new inch of a bit of a thick snow. Not a new flake overnight. I checked the 2 hotels in Grayling at the south end this morning and the trailer counts were zero at the Days Inn and 2 at the Ramada. Sled traffic was very slow thru Frederic yesterday but I have seen 6 over at the swamp this morning. Most likely getting breakfast there. They do put out a great breakfast buffet there. So we need more snow and there are predictions for scattered lake effect for most of the upcoming week. I believe next weekend is MLK weekend which is supposed to be a fun weekend of riding. Lets see what happens this week. Eh. Three canadians walked into Sledheads for there annual visit yesterday, they are pictured below in my front room. They could have brought us some canadian snow. They bought a few things and tried to pay me with Looneys eh. Luckily they had 1 credit card between the three of them. Another group of 3 guys pictured on the outside of the shop stopped in. The guy in the middle has the cheapest Dad in the world. About 12 years ago I sold Mr. Cheap my used set of bibs for $15 and to this day he still has them. He would stop in each year to remind me that those bibs are still riding the trails. Its funny how this reminds me of all the characters and people and families that have come thru here in the 28 years or so I have been in here. All with many nick names I have for them. Kids that were little years ago come in with their kids now. I will leave it at that for now so thanks for checking in and if you do get to ride, Please Ride Safely. 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 – 01/10

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/10

Its a calm and quiet friday morning with 20 degrees here in downtown Frederic. No new snow but there is light snow predicted the next few days. I drove out near Manistee Lake this morning to a house I have listed (sale pending) and was surprised how much snow is still out there. Trail crossings still looked pretty good. Of course everyone always says the snow is better north and west of Frederic. I took a few pics of their roof and picnic table to show the snow out there. There were a few sleds out yesterday around Frederic. The other pic I have down here are the guys that came here and are camped out in my back lot. They were still here when I got here this morning but were gone and riding again by about 9:45. If you do want to ride just enjoy what little we do have. I wish I had better reports. Thanks for checking in. Pete
