Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/11

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/11

It’s a very sunny 16 degree saturday morning at about 10 a.m. All the slushy snow that has had tracks thru it is pretty rock hard this morning. It will begin to soften up as it is supposed to hit 40s this afternoon. There was a pretty good amount of sleds out and about on Friday and for the most part it was pretty decent. Its all we have so if you were to get any riding at all in you had to just go for it. I think the same thing for today. Have had 3 sleds in this morning already and there were 5 trailers at the m 72 west parking lot with 2 of them having their sleds sitting ther running and ready to ride. If the snow makes it in to sunday that would be good but Super Bowl sunday everyone dissapears early in the day anyways. Weather for this coming next week is dreary again with high 40s on thursday. Hopefully they are wrong. Positive thinking and snow chants are the best thing I can think of. Also if you have a polaris and are missing a hard tunnel bag I have it here at Sledheads for you. A rider just dropped it off to me. I still have the blue bag found on the trail last week too. 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 – 02/10

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/10

Five new inches of slushy white stuff. The rain finally slowed up about 5 last night and then the snow started. We had a couple inches in Grayling but alot more here in Frederic. Its 10:30 Friday morning and there have been 5 sleds thru here this morning. This is free snowmobiling weekend so you dont need a permit of registration but who cares about that. We have a bit of snow and pushing thru the wet heavy slush will be a challenge but you could get a ride in today. Who knows if it will last thru tommorow as above freezing into the 40s is supposed to be back on saturday. You know its a crap shoot. The pics below are from this mornings riders and they are all excited to be out there. My feeling is if you arent here already and able to ride you will probably miss out. I guess its all part of the new normal. Thanks for checking in. Pete
