Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/24

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/24

It’s a sunny and cold snowless saturday, I finally showed up here to Sledheads about 11 to spend the rest of the day here. This morning was one of the coldest mornings of the whole so called winter at about 5 degrees out when I got up. Now its up to 22 degrees On the way here I saw two atv’s and 2 side bys out riding near Tinkers Junction. I also saw one sled heading south but that was on a trailer. A couple friends pointed out that my travels in the past week took me from Lake Superior at the Soo for the I 500 and thats as far north as you can go to Key West as far south as you can go on the Atlantic to Santa Barbara on the Pacific at the west coast. And on the way back a pit stop in Denver in the Mile high city. I keep sitting here day dreaming about places to go. I saw a post from Alaskan Toy Rental in Palmer , AK and that is intriguing. A big shout out to Farmer Scott down in Ohio who bought me a delicious as usual prime rib dinner at the Frederic Inn last night. Thanks Scott. My photographer on the other hand didnt do my picture any justice. I also got to wear my man bib made for me by Mrs Moorbeck. It sure helps keep my shirts clean. Thats enough rambling for today. Cant was for the 50 degree end of February weather next week. Thanks for checking on. 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 – 02/23

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/23

It sure doesn’t look like Feb 23. The ground froze up again overnight but now its just rock hard frozen mud. Snow piles continue to melt down and I would guess the side bys will be out and about this weekend. It seems so strange not having any snow out there. On the bright side I have had a couple of good trips when I am usually here in Sledheads, I think I might have to go on another one just to keep myself entertained. I did wake up this morning thinking about the mountain man hill climb in Valdez Alaska, that happens in the middle of April and it is a great event to attend and watch. Even the snow in the black hills is light this season as thats another place that I like to ride. If you come by and my truck is here stop in and make sure I am awake. Thanks for checking in. Thankfully I had not heard of any snowmobile deaths this season until yesterday where someone went thru the ice up in the u.p. STAY OFF LAKES I have never seen a winter with ice the way it has been. Thanks for checking in. Pete Pic below is out front this friday morning.
