FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/03

I love the cold. A nice cold zero degrees out when I left home this morning. We had maybe another inch and a half, 2 inches if you stretch it yesterday. The cold is holding the trails for now at least till it warms up again and maybe rains on Monday. I think this will be a decent day of riding as groomers are out and about, but keep in mind there is still maybe only 6 compacted inches on the trails themselves. Traffic was hit and miss yesterday but riders stil lhaving a decent ride. Kind of the same old thing. Pics below are from yesterday and look in the background to see the train passing thru as riders were leaving. A rider stopped in yesterday and told me I pushed motivated him to finally getting knee surgery and that he was so glad he did. I had mine on Nov 17 and he had it on the 14th……He said he feels 30 years younger and is getting his other knee done in march….I am still healing and have some pain and I think last years knee went better. Hopefully I will ease up on the discomfor soon……..I put it off way to long too like Mark did but am glad its done now. So now I can get out there and do the snow dance…….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 UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/02

Still cold but no new snow overnight, predictions are for some more tonight, this should bring us a decent weekend of riding…..dont get to excited cause they are predicting rain next tues and wednesday. I did just have two guys from ohio in that rode to the bridge yesterday and said it was a decent ride. Thats good news cause the wertz warriors called yesterday wondering if anyone had rode up there plus they were wondering if anyone had rode to the bridge from Johannesburg. If you did please give me a call and let me know how it was. They are going to check with me later on today. So todays pics are all from Wertz Warriors at the swamp for their early morning stop and breakfast over there. Julie, Rob and the crew whipped up an incredible breakfast for the guys and she gave them a nice donation all to go to support Special Olympics. They ended their day at the Special Olympics in Traverse City and gave rides to all the kids there.
