Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/27

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/27

It’s sunday morning at Lake Margrethe, About 25 degrees out. Sled traffic was slow saturday but riders were pretty happy with what they were encountering with both good and bad areas. Jack Stevens was in first thing and put a new set of carbides on his sled and a couple hours later he called me and he had made it up to the bridge saying it was a decent ride. Clifford sent in pics from his ride in the u.p. in Moran saying it was really good and that I should get up there. I wish I could make it but I do think I am going to ride around Frederic today.

Someone turned in a tool kit found on I belive on trail 7 near Frederic so if you are missing one give me a call. Also a guy called me and he had his sled stolen from the Hide Away at Starvation Lake Friday nite. Picture of it is below, 2018 850 Renegade X. Thats it for today, I have to get ready to ride….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 – 02/26

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/26

It’s 20 degrees and a sunny morning in downtown Frederic, the snow from yesterday held out pretty darn good from yesterday and I imagine it will make it thru today. Past that who knows. There were a good amount of sleds out and about around Frederic yesterday, certainly way more than there has been. My thoughts for the next week of winter, (if thats what you call it) is that unless a surprise storm hits us that it will be toast around here. Things are still nice and white around this morning as I looked at trail crossings on the way here. I had a call from Eric in Pennsylvania who wants to come to the u.p. to ride next week, they have had a rough winter there too and he said western new york never opened their trails till Jan 20 and closed them down on Feb 15. He is anxious to come to michigan and try the u.p.out. So many regulars that normally come in for the winter that I havent seen this season. Where the heck is Ohio Brian. ? The Obama tour was a no show this season too. Hard of Hearing MIke and the snow bunny havent been around in years, Illinois Mike and sadly Ohio Mike the chosen one passed away this past fall. Bad Leg Barry likes hanging out in Florida but at least Jr. does still come north. Bruce and the Forever Young family havent made it in either. All these people part of the Sledheads family of riders just sitting on the sidelines wishing for a real winter. The list could go on and on. Yesterday Spud & Darren from Ottowa Ohio stopped in and loaded up on new Sledheads shirts so thanks for the business guys. Pics below are Spud & Darren from yesterday and the nice deep snow trench is from Dave Klemish who was lucky enough to be in Marquette during the 21 inch overnight snow fall. Thanks for checking in. Pete
