Gaylord Area Trail Report – 12/07
Gaylord Bureau –
December 7, 2024
9:50 a.m.
Snow, baby, snow! We’re having an epic start to snowmobile season and the Gaylord area got hit with over 40 inches of snow to start out winter.
All trails are open and in good shape but there may be some choppy spots due to heavy traffic. Groomers are out working on it to keep them smooth. Please remember that even with the fresh snow we received, we are still building up our base. While it does look like there may be a warm up this weekend, that will help build our base. Groomers will run in the evening as conditions and temperatures allow.
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!

WOW, the most trailers and sleds around that I have seen in a long long time. My back parking lot is full and people are having a problem finding trailer parking. There is light snow falling and we had a couple inches since last night. Its now noon thirty and still snow in the air and riders all over the place. Almost like the good old days when there were riders everywhere. Thankfully the temp is still at 29 degrees. Thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 32 degrees and calm and quiet out there. No new snow and its icy and mostly dry but my lake is emerging in the back parking lot. My nieghbors were just here and they are going to try to ride to the bridge. I told them to send me a picture, we will see how that works out. There is a prediction of 1 to 4 inches for today but I do not think that will help much. I have a piece of property that I keep plowed out and that was all down to dirt this morning. The wait is on again... #gaylord

No big changes for the UP, although a bit more snow is now forecast for the Keweenaw and central UP. Not a bad way to make up for the recent warmup! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Wet roadways and surfaces from melting snowpack and rain today combined with temperatures continuing to fall will lead to to potential roadways freezing overnight into Saturday morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Wet, messy roads are expected across many areas this morning due to rain and snow melt. Strong winds are in store later today with gusts to 35-50 mph through this afternoon. Mild temps this morning will fall through the day, eventually transitioning rain to snow across parts of northern Michigan. A brief period of hazardous travel is possible this afternoon with falling snow and strong winds leading to quick drops in visibility for drivers. Snowfall amounts are expected to stay below 1”. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWet, messy roads are expected across many areas this morning due to rain and snow melt.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Meltdown is not what we want to see this time of year. We lost alot of snow overight and it is now icy and slippery. Strong winds and rain most of the night didnt do us any favors. I was outside about 5 this morning and it was very warm out there. Currently at about 11 friday morning its 33 degrees and slight snow in the air. I have had several calls on people wondering what its like out. There is still alot of snow in the woods but with all the rain I think you will go right thru the slush to the bottom. On the other hand weather said we could get up to 4 inches tonight. Its amazing how great conditions can be and how fast it can dissapear ……Pics below are all this morning. If you stop by to see me just wake me up cause I think this is going to be a boring day...

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Rain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday. Temperatures will warm into the 40s and low 50s overnight, combining with rain to quickly melt snow across the area. Localized minor flooding will be possible and widespread fog will lead to reduced visibility. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyRain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday.

Localized minor flooding will be possible and widespread fog will lead to reduced visibility.
WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> OK, here's the latest! Shown below is the expected 24-hour snowfall accumulation from 7pm today through 7pm Friday, along with the 24-hour snowfall from 7am Saturday through 7am Sunday. The 12-hour "gap" in between those two periods is the lull between the two waves of snow, when not much is expected to happen. And the snowmelt from the warm spell today should largely have ceased by then. More snow is also expected after 7am on Sunday and even into Monday, but it's a bit too early to call the snow amounts for that time period. Winter will not succumb to our brief warm spell! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
