Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/08

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/08

Its a nice cold and sunny 11 degrees on wednesday morning in downtown Frederic. The good thing about the cold is its letting us keep the whole 8 inches of lake effect that we had last week. There are riders out there and you have to enjoy what we do have.. I dont know when the next snow is going to hit us but lets hope for MLK weekend. I decided to leave sunday nite and went up to my favorite spot in Grand Marais. I like to stay at Rick and Marys place right downtown. The Superior Hotel. I started out monday morning from there and rode out to the Bear Trap in Munising and had lunch and ran into my old friend Don Reed who was there for lunch but was out grooming from Seney to the Bear trap. It was good to catch up with him. Got in 80 miles on Monday. Ran into several Sledheads at Lake Superior brewing company both monday and tuesday nights. Tuesdays ride was 100 miles and I looped out to Pine Stump and down towards Newberry and back up to Grand Marais. Overall I would rate the trails at a 9. It really is winter up there and I am so glad I went up there. Alot of sleds out riding and I expect it will get busier there before the weekend. Also met up with Perry from the food truck that he has open on trail 888 about 8 miles outside of Grand Marais. He is open wed thru sunday out there. Stop in for hot dogs or brats or a warm up drink. Many of you have seen his videos on the FB page Riding the Crazy 8s under PM Bennet. Stop in and tell him I sent you. Thats about it for today and lets see what this weekend brings. 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 UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/04

Lets load up and go to Indianapolis as it looks like all the snow is going to be south of I 70. We have only had another couple inches of lake effect snow since yesterday. I still feel like your skis are right thru the little bit we have and carbides are right thru to the gravel.

Sleds are out and about riding and I heard the parking lot on 612 is full and I have 2 trucks out back so far this morning. I saw sleds running thru Grayling first thing this morning and the most I saw at the Swamp yesterday was about 20.

At least its nice and white out. Here are a few pics. Thanks for checking in. Pete
