Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/21

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/21

Stay off the lakes, this has to be the most dangerous year ever for lake ice. Had a call yesterday from a guy looking for someone to get his sled out of ten feet of water. Also be sure to stay away from the RR tracks, railroad tresspass is an expensive tickeet. Just stay as far as you can from the tracks.

It’s a sunny 18 degrees at about 11:30 on sunday morning. Lots of sleds out all day saturday and traffic has been hit and miss so far this morning. I went to the Swamp this morning for the breakfast buffet. They do a great job and that and I was surprised how many people were in there at 9:30 this morning. I am fat and full now. Try it when you are up here, they do it on saturday and sunday mornings.

For the second time this week someone told me they looked Sledheads of Frederic up on google and it shows me 14 miles north of Frederic. I am trying to figure that mess out but just remember I am only one store and in downtown Frederic which is exit 264 on I 75.

Its now up toalmost 1 o,clock, to much sun out there but still 22 degrees. 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 – 01/20

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/20

Saturday afternoon about 2. It started out at 4 degrees this morning and it is now up to 18. Sled traffic thru town and Sledheads has been steady all day even with the cold. I have been trying to sit down to write this and everytime I would sit down someone would come in. But now is my big break. Sled traffic was lighter on friday but today makes up for it.

Big John and his crew made it to the bridge yesterday on their 202 mile ride. Lunch at the Keyhole, pitstop at Spankys and a pic at the bridge. They said the snow north of Vanderbilt was perfect alll the way up.Thank you to all that sent birthday wishes. We went up to Luckys in Gaylord for birthday dinner. Of course it was prime rib but with lobster…pretty darn good. I think its going to stay busy around with riders thru sunday afternoon.

Thanks for checking in. Pete
