FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/17
1 Old Guy Drives to Frederic and he wonders what ever happened when you could drive from Grayling to Frederic and it would be a whole different world up here with so much snow it would be amaziing in a ten mile difference. Frederic would be buzzing with sleds everywhere. You couldnt hardly find a place to park your sled in the park before it was fenced and it would take forever to get gas, or get into the Frederic Inn or the Swamp to eat. Sledheads would have the bon fire going outside, kids making smores on the fire, Spam Fest going on in the back room of the shop and lots of customers inside. One old guy still makes the drive to Frederic most everyday but its alot different then the mid 90s. Like I have said several times this place was a much bettter idea when I was 40 instead of now at 66…… It rained all night long and is still raining now about ten a.m. on friday morning. Weather says we may get a little snow but its a mud bog most places. So I guess I will continue to follow the 3 old guys ride to Alaska and at least I can dream about that. Maybe Craig from Darkside Adventures could put a big ride together for next year. Thanks for checking in. 1 old guy says thanks for checking in. Pete
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lingering icing across parts of northern lower MI this morning transitions to snow area-wide today. Several inches of new snow likely through tonight, heaviest across parts of the eastern U.P. and northwest lower. Snow combined with strong winds will result in whiteouts at times, especially near the Lake Michigan shoreline. *Additionally, strong winds in areas that received heavy icing will exacerbate tree damage and infrastructural impacts* Cold temperatures filter in to northern Michigan behind the major winter storm. Consequently, for those without power, dangerously cold temperatures are expected this afternoon through Tuesday night. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskey... See MoreSee Less
WEATHER UPDATE via Great Lakes Weather & Climate >> The Houghton Lake and Roscommon County areas have been severely hit by freezing rain in the past 24 hrs, leading to a declaration of a local state of emergency by the Roscommon County Board. They report that tree damage has led to ~87% of the county's residents losing power as of this morning (3/16). One webcam that was operational on the east side of the lake displays ice-encrusted trees along the shoreline. Winds today could unfortunately exacerbate the power outage situation. #miweather #gaylordThe Houghton Lake and Roscommon County areas have been severely hit by freezing rain in the past 24 hrs, leading to a declaration of a local state of emergency by the Roscommon County Board.
