Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/07
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/07 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.

Ground or should I say ice is still rock hard and it is now 33 degrees. I would think that once things start melting that if you were here you could still get in a ride. Trail crossings I looked at on the way up here are still pretty white. I looked at the sledview.com camera and it looks bright white with still no snirt and 12 inches showing on his depth guage. The end is getting nearer as everyday this week its above 32 and heading for 50 later on... #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Mostly sunny skies are in store for many areas south of the bridge this afternoon as low clouds may linger across the eastern U.P. through the day. Temperatures will continue to warm through the first half of the week, reaching well into the 40s and even low 50s for some on Wednesday. Our next main rain chances return on Thursday as mild temperatures continue into this weekend and next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyMostly sunny skies are in store for many areas south of the bridge this afternoon as low clouds may linger across the eastern U.P. through the day.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Well its up to 25 degrees and while its still nice and white out there its rock hard and like riding on broken concrete. I bet I had about a dozen riders ask for ice scratchers yesterday. Riders also told me they saw several sleds pulled off and trying to cool things down. I have seen a few sleds out already this morning. Riding would get better if the sun melts a little on top so people have lube. So northern michigan is pretty much a big rough skating rink right now. You get the jist of it. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos Rock Hard like riding on broken concrete frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Sunny and dry today, albeit, with a bit of a chill as we kick off March. Clear and cold tonight with lows likely dropping below zero in many spots. We stay sunny Monday with more seasonable temperatures before warming further into midweek… as snow chances fester on Tuesday and rain chances intrude for Wednesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySunny and dry today, albeit, with a bit of a chill as we kick off March.

Some snow to contend with in two areas tonight… steadier light snow south of M-72, and some residual lake effect in eastern upper. We then trend cloudy and chilly Sunday before warming to more seasonably cool temperatures to start next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyPerhaps a few snow showers today (especially eastern upper), otherwise dry and colder with some peeks of sun.

For some reason the groomer tracker in that machine isn’t working FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> I have said it before, I think this might be it…… it got up to 49 on friday but at least now its 23 on a cloudy saturday in Frederic at 9;30. Roads are very drty but still snow on the trails. 2 pics below show how much my parking lot changed since yesterday. I have seen sleds out already and the west parking lot on 72 had 4 trucks already this morning. You just have to make the best of what we do have. #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Mild today with peeks of sun at times, especially south. Perhaps a few rain showers near the Soo, otherwise a dry day. A cold front passes through tonight, returning winter air to the region for the weekend. We trend milder into Monday, with long term guidance favoring milder temperatures into much of next week. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyMild today with peeks of sun at times, especially south.

Equipment - We’ve got parts engineered and are on the way for the JD out of Alba. They worked on it today, hopefully next couple days we can get that back on line.
Weather - Don’t look now but the rest of the season doesn’t look good. We’ll adjust grooming for the temperatures and conditions. Mid 40s and 50s don’t make it an easy job
Thanks for sticking with us this year! It’s been a tough year but we’ll get everything fixed up and regroup #jordanvalley #gaylord #petoskey
