FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/17

Super Icy and hard, no lube, the 40s didnt do us any favors yesterday, it is so hard and icy out there that unless we get any snow riding is pretty much impossible. Even if we do get snow it will be so hard with what is frozen you would be fighting the frozen stuff underneath….Weather is talking maybe system snow on monday…..I will believe that when I see it. I dont know what has happened in the u.p. but maybe I will have some people stop by on their way up there. On my way home yesterday I pulled up to the stop sign by the high school and could see a sled coming down the trail at me and I thought well at least somebody is riding. I waited for him to get up to the corner and then took a pic of him which is below…….also pics below are the same spots that I took yesterday morning, If I just had a zamboni I could smooth out all the ice for the olympic skaters. 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 – 02/14

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/14

A lost cause of a winter, at least for all of us trolls below the Mackinaw Bridge. The u.p. has been rolling this season but all around us it has been horrible. LIke I said a couple weeks ago my first year open in Frederic I closed and went to the u.p. riding as it was all solid dirt around Frederic and not a flake of snow anywhere, that was in 96 or 97. At least the ground was white this year but just poor conditions.

There were some sleds out and about on friday and saturday but still slim and good slide and carbide wearing out conditions. Will we get one storm this season yet or not? I cant believe the amount of snow downstate, Kzoo looks like Grayling and Frederic should look. The whole winter thing is backwards this year. Blah, Blah, Blah………So lets see what happens this week. Happy Valentines Day to all. Thanks for checking in. Pete
