FREDERIC – GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 02/23
Monday morning in downtown Frederic, light snow in the air and about 18 degrees out there. Predictions for this upcoming week are not anything to get to excited about. Looks like we may get a little snow but it is still all white out there. It was very slow around town on sunday. Who knows we may get a nice storm for a surprise. Lets see what the next few days bring. thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 22 degrees and sunny in downtown Frederic, no new snow overnight but they say this is the calm before the storm. Had a wonderful ride yesterday with Steve and Karen from Florida and did a nice 65 mile trip. We only saw one other set of tracks all day and we broke new 6 to 8 inches of snow all day. Many calls already this morning but if you arent here now to enjoy what we have it probably. wont hold up, but wait there is more as the big storm is supposed to be tonight and tommorow but the kicker on that is it could be rain too so its a crap shoot. Also Mackinaw bridge is clossed again as of 9:10 a.m and its now 10:36. I have lost count of how many times it has been closed this week so take that into consideration. You couldnt have asked for better conditions and temp yesterday but thats in the past now and the wait is on to see what mother nature brings us next. We had lunch at Lovells and while we rode there from Frederic a group of five guys rode in that had come down from Gaylord and they said that was good too. So thats where we are at for now. Thanks for checkingin. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos

Had a wonderful ride yesterday with Steve and Karen from Florida and did a nice 65 m… WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> Here are a couple probability maps for the snow and ice potential through the full duration of this upcoming spring storm (through 8am on Tuesday). It’s not often that we get to show 90% probabilities of getting 1.5 feet of snow, but that will be the case for much of our region. And the potential for significant icing has started to inch more into the far eastern UP, so we’ll need to keep an eye on that as well. I’ll provide some final updates tomorrow morning before the first impacts start to roll in. In the meantime, enjoy your “day off” from all this whacky spring weather! ⛄️💨🥶 #miweather #munising #seney #newberry #soo #petoskey #gaylord

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> A second, more significant winter storm is coming Sunday into Monday, and it still looks like a whopper. Confidence is increasing in the following:
•More than a foot of snow for the UP and/or far northern lower Michigan
•Significant icing that may impact the power grid
•Wind gusts that could top 45mph
•Blizzard conditions
We plan to release our first call snow/ice/wind maps for this event later this afternoon. We encourage you to begin preparations as this event could be our biggest winter storm we’ve seen in quite some time. Stay tuned for further details. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA second, more significant winter storm is coming Sunday into Monday, and it still looks like a whopper.

GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Waters Inn >> Just starting to get nasty, the weather guessers are saying 4-8”... #gaylord #watersinn #snowphotos
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lots of wintry weather ahead!
Today: Snow and blowing snow move across northern MI with bursts of heavy snow falling at 1-2" per hour combined with wind gusts of 30-45+ mph likely leading to whiteouts at times, especially this morning. Snow tapers this evening into tonight.
A brief break in wintry weather anticipated Saturday.
Saturday night through Monday: A late season winter storm has its sights set on the Great Lakes region. While uncertainty still exists with regards to specific snowfall/icing amounts and the location of where these highest amounts fall, potential continues to increase for parts of northern MI to see 12-24"+ of snow while others see impactful/heavy icing. Use caution when looking at detailed forecast amounts several days in advance. Stay tuned -- lots more info to come over the next 48 hours. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
