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

There is a light snow falling and its still fantastic out there. Saw both Grayling groomers out and about this morning. Rode 50 miles yesterday afternoon and I still say this is the best snow in years. Supposed to be some light snow each day this week so that is good and the temps should be great too. I think that there is so much great snow out there that it has all the riders spread out everywhere. Went off to rescue a couple of friends that blew a belt about 15 miles from Frederic after I got back here from our ride so that was another little adventure. Also Big John & Trent rode back into Frederic after their 3 day 800 mile run to the u.p. and back. They left Melstrand at 5:15 a.m. and were back to Frederic by 2. Thats a power run. Thats it for today , 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 – 02/09

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/09

It’s a nice calm sunday morning in downtown Frederic, almost noon. Sleds are out and about buzzing town. Typically on super bowl sunday everyone leaves town early. We had a total of I would say 6 to 8 inches of nice system snow yesterday. One nice thing with this much snow is that there is so much of it that it spreads the riders out so it doesnt seem as busy. This doesnt happen very often. Yesterday I heard the train horn and right away I knew it was the annual Michigan State Police train and they are looking for sledders that are doing things wrong like to close to the tracks. There must have been 4 sheriff cars and 4 state police tahoes coming thru town at the same time. In the pic below look at the big MSP magnet they put on the train. Moral of the story is stay away from the train tracks. Also the post from yesterday where the table full of people that didnt pay at the swamp was taken care of. They made it right so thats good. First sled in this morning was Clifford who swung thru to say hi. He wins the hard charger award just for driving so far and keeping all of his sleds running. Thanks for checking in. Pete
