It’s been raining on and off this morning in Frederic and we are supposed to get three different waves of it, so what we do have left will get hit even harder today.
I drove up to Gaylord this morning and the trail along 27 actually looked pretty white most of the way but all the drive crossings were mostly bare and then other bare spots along the way too.
I stopped in at Bob Evans for breakfast which I hardly ever go out for breakfast and ran into Jerry for the Sled Shed. I haven’t talked to him in a while but he and I are both in the same boat on how great the snowmobile business is right now.
Pictures below are from Ohio Brian from yesterday and he said he actually had a pretty good ride. The really nice picture is from Ron who took that pic on sunday.
To give you an idea of how much snow we lost since Friday the 17th study the penguin picture. This was on a wood pile, the top clothes pin was how much snow there was on Friday. That’s it for today Thanks for checking in. Pete — http://frederic-mi.com/raining/

We have cold temps in the forecast until Saturday with some snow predicted throughout the week.
However, this weekend is calling for temps in the 40’s for highs. At this time groomers will not be going out anymore due to very wet conditions in many areas. Trail 8 west should be completely avoided as much of it is under water. A large beaver pond has created a large wet area on trail 1 south, south of the Gogebic Lodge. Trail 8 east is somewhat bare to due high winds earlier in the week. Trail 1 north and 13 north are mostly ride able but in rough condition and you should watch out for wet areas that may be opening up. Trail 13 south is also ride able but also may have some wet areas opening up. Unplowed Forest Service roads can still be ridden, you can stop at one of their offices (Watersmeet, Ironwood & Ontonagon) for maps or information. Remember to stay off the highway between JW’s Restaurant and the gas station in Bergland as this is not a trail and you will be ticketed. Unfortunately the long term weather predictions look like this coming weekend may be your last chance to do any snowmobiling in our area this season. Warmer temps and no snow for the first couple of weeks of March will put an end to our trails. I will, however, keep you posted if we get a late season snowstorm in March – those are always fun.
