Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/22

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/22

So we are supposed to get a storm, multiple inches supposed to start this afternoon. Right now we have had about 2 inches of lake effect since yesterday. If we really get 6 to ten inches it should make it passable for this coming weekend. I busted my plow truck back out and am ready to move some snow. I will do video update later in the day if the snow is coming down like they say it is going to.

Sunday afternoon I decided to run away and loaded up my sled and headed up to Grand Marais to the Superior Hotel. I got there about 4 and got settled in nice and cozy. Got up monday morning and headed out on a ride, rode the crazy 8s. Went to Melstrand, Bear Trap, Shingleton and back to Grand Marais. 95 mile ride. Trails were not perfect but they didnt beat me to death either so I was happy with that. Monday nite about 6 new inches fell and it was snowing and blowing hard so I decided I didnt want to fight the visiblity factor and came back home. It was a nice escape.

Pics below are from different stops along the route. Had a great burger at the Strongs Tavern yesterday plus their fries were really good too. Also pizza at the Dunes in GM was super good too. Lets hope for a real weekend of riding in the Frederic area. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Timing post!!
Most of us got that quick burst of 1-2" (locally 3") earlier, and we're already onto the next system - later today!! Fast!
Notice we'll have a distinct rain/ snow line to the south.
Models have all come together nicely. That's a great thing because it lines up with my forecast quite nice. My snow map was posted earlier! Scroll my page!
Some areas are looking at up to 6"of snow.
Rain falling into cold snow pack roads will cause some very slick conditions. Dirt roads, I'm talking to you! You know this already, though haha.
Most treated roads to the south will be ok, though. Anywhere all snow all the time (north of I-96) will be very slow going!
Want a home with a fireplace and big windows to watch the snow!? (I dream of this) #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow time!!
This is late Tuesday thru Wednesday AM only. Repeat that. 😅
About 1-2 inches could fall Tuesday AM before this second system moves in.
There will be some rain mixed in to the south. Please note that'll make back dirt roads quite slick for those folks.
Temperatures stay in the 20s further north, so it'll be a lighter, fluffy snow.
Roads Wednesday AM won't be fun.
This is followed by cold and some lake effect! More slick roads possible with that. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traverscity #petoskeySnow time!!
