Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, Its about 7 a.m. here at Lake Margrethe, as I woke up this morning I heard taps on the window, I looked out and its all white out there.

We have about 3 to 4 inches of wet heavy snow from overnight. Also just had a big round of Thunder for some thunder snow. Schools everywhere south and west of us are closed but Grayling and Gaylord are still open. Temp is about 25 out and there was just a huge flash of lightning followed by rolling thunder.

While this all looks good remember that we are 100 percent starting over. I wouldn’t consider this rideable snow but it is a start towards a rebuild. It depends on where the temps stay.

I will take a few pics on the way to Frederic this morning and post them back in here later on this morning in this same post. Thanks for checking in. Pete

O.k. here is Round 2 of todays post along with pics. So on the way to Frederic it was raining but when I got here what we had was a nice tight system snow of 3 to 4 inches. It made great snow balls and that was an hour ago but now the rain has caught up to us.

Heavy thunder a little bit ago actually was vibrating my front window here in the shop and I could see it shaking. Pictures I took on the way here this morning were the trail 7 west crossing north of the high school and trail 7 north towards Gaylord at the north end of Frederic, as you can see in that pic someone was out there and left their track on the trail. They had good timing for that. The other 2 pics were just outside of the shop here.

Weather man says its supposed to be more snow for tomorrow. Just remember yesterday these trails were all black and muddy and all that is still under all this good looking white so conditions are still poor. That’s it for today. Thanks for checking in again…Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/surprise-surprise-surprise/

Foggy and 45 this morning in Frederic, snow continues to try to totally disappear.

Up to 53 yesterday and stil another couple warm days to come then finally back to below 32.

The Winter Festival that was scheduled for Gaylord this coming weekend has been canceled. I don’t believe there is any hope of rideable snow for this coming weekend but maybe a slim chance for the following weekend.

If it happens at all we will be starting over from scratch. With the ground warmed up everything that falls at first will want to melt.

I posted a picture yesterday of a set of keys that were found on the trail north of town here and that got passed around a lot and I am happy to say that the owner of the keys called me last night and wouldn’t you know it, another Indiana person from Fort Wayne. That of course instantly made me think of the coney island in Fort Wayne. Regardless I am glad that Trent can get his keys back. Pictures below are from this morning and are just plain depressing except for the deer pics I took at my camp and a picture I am throwing in that my daughter took down at the lake a couple weeks ago. The only other good thing about this warm out is that the death count this season is only at 4 when it was at 20 at this same time last year. Thanks for checking in.
