FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/03

Its a very sunny 24 degrees in Frederic this morning. Its 10 a.m. and we had another few inches of light feathery lake effect snow. Things are nice and white out there but I dont like the sun. We need a good system snow. There were a few sleds out and about yesterday but with no base I feel like we need alot more snow. We have to start somewhere.

Temps are suppposed to get colder next week. People tell me I am to negative on my reports sometimes but I look at it like would I ride my sled in it. With this feathery light weight snow its pretty much worn out after the first couple sleds go by and you are right thru to the gravel. But you have to take what we have and its not much. Pics below are this morning.

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 – 01/02

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/02

Here we go again for another fresh start. About 4 to 5 fresh inches of fluffy lake effect snow here in Frederic today Jan 2. Its 1:30 p.m. and I didnt get here till about noon. We had only about 2 inches in Grayling and I have seen 6 sleds this morning. Rich and Lisa rode in from Lakes of the North and they said they have more snow there. Their pic is below with 2 other pics I took outside here this morning. I still call this very marginal riding snow as you just go right thru to the dirt on the first pass but we have to start over so we can build from here. My gut feeling is that there will be a fair amount of riders around friday and saturday as there is supposed to be more snow coming but we really need a nice thick system snow to get it packing. So let get this winter going. Thanks for checking in. Pete
