Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/18

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/18

It’s sunday nite about 8, just got back home from checking things out in Frederic, there is about 3 to 4 inches there. I only saw a couple sets of sled tracks. I still say its way to early. On the weather forcast its quiet for the next few days and then it says watching storm for Thursday so maybe Santa will get us riding the day after Christmas. I am still waiting to open up until we get rideable conditions…..Just thought I would put a quick report. It was misting pretty good on the way home so that’s not a good sign. 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 – 12/15

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/15

As usual here we are over 2 weeks into the riding season with no rideable snow. Certainly not looking good for this coming weekend again. Who knows if it will show up the following week for Christmas. Same old story unfortuneately …….

This morning schools all around northern michigan were closed due to mostly slushy slippery roads, Grayling schools were the only ones open. I am writing this from home as I figure its way more comfy here. I actually did go into the shop on tuesday and even put the open sign and had 1 couple come in so that was exciting. I am not ready to open full time till we get rideable snow…..I am well stocked up on Spam so I wont starve to death. It looks like temps are still going to hover around 30s but it would be nice to have it a bit colder. The pics below I took out the front window of Sledheads this morning, they kind of look like the same pic I took last week from there. A little bit of white on the ground but not enough to ride. The couple that came in the other day said they had rented a place up on Otsego Lake for the winter so they are just waiting it out there and that reminded me that my place here at Lake Margrethe is available yet for the winter if you want to have a place that is here waiting for you when you want to come up. You can always watch TV if there is no snow. I wish I had a better story to tell you. Thanks for checking in. Pete
