Gaylord Area Trail Report – 12/29
Still melting. Certainly nothing exciting happened in Frederic yesterday so I decided the best way to fix that was to first put a note in my front door that says, Hours will vary until we get rideable snow. And then headed to the Frederic Inn for dinner and had my favorite dinner. Thats it for now. I will get on here as things progress. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Gaylord Bureau –
December 27, 2024
8:30 a.m.
We had an epic start to snowmobile season – the Gaylord area got hit with over 90 inches of snow to start out winter!
Due to the warmer temps, trails are in poor condition and grooming has stopped. Don’t worry, there’s more snow in the forecast! Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord.
A few things to remember about groomers:
– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are coming and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night.
– Have fun and stay safe!

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A complex winter system has potential to bring significant impacts Sunday thru Tuesday. Of particular concern is the Sunday night - Monday night period, when significant snowfall overlaps a period of very strong winds.

WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~
A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey~OUTDATED~

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Frederic is a cloudy ghost town so far this saturday morning. No one around and 31 degrees. Surprisingly we had about an inch and a half of pebbly sleet/snow yesterday. I only saw 2 groups of 3 sleds and one group of 2 all day yesterday. 3 of those sleds are pictured below and they were the only ones yesterday. Looks like we might get some snow the beginning of the week. The riders from yesterday were happy to be out but its hard out there. I met a youngster in town this morning from St Henry Ohio who is a regular rider. I didnt get his name. but its great to see young people wanting to ride. Thats about it for today, just waiting to see who stops by. So far no one. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
