Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/11
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/11 I liked last wednesday way better than today. Last Wednesday I was on my sled and rode to the bridge and back. Snow was incredible and now today just one short week later things are junk. Rutty and hard with a new 1/2 inch of lake effect snow overnight. We are under a winter storm warning which is supposed to bring us 8 to 16 inches by 7 on thursday nite. That would be nice but saturday calling for scattered rain and 40 and then monday up to 50…..You cant make this stuff up. What a roller coaster. Today I am wearing my 20 year old MO MO NAH CHEE CHEE NAH shirt. I figure it cant hurt to wear the snow chant shirt. Thanks for checking in.

I should be out riding right now as its pretty nice out there. The pic below is at the bridge that some guys just sent me and thats the second time I have heard of someone getting to the bridge. Thanks for checking in. Pete... #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow will continue to ramp up this afternoon with heaviest banding expected later tonight into Thursday morning. Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and eastern upper Michigan, including the potential for localized amounts of 6-8” or more. Reduced visibility and hazardous travel will be possible for these areas into Thursday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyLake effect snow will continue to ramp up this afternoon with heaviest banding expected later tonight into Thursday morning. Several inches of snow is expected across parts of northwest lower and eastern upper Michigan, including the potential for localized amounts of 6-8” or more. Reduced visibility and hazardous travel will be possible for these areas into Thursday. WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Northwest winds kick in later today, allowing for lake effect snow to return primarily for the areas drenched in shades of blue. A couple locations will pick up 1-3" or greater within the most intense bands. We are monitoring the Kalkaska county region the closest for potential upgrades, but this should be a good base forecast to get you through the end of the day on Thursday, December 11th. This forecast starts at 5 pm EST this evening when the advisories end for the system, while the lake effect bands begin coming on shore. A couple of squalls may produce blowing snow, reduced visibilities under half a mile, and a very miniscule chance for thundersnow. Areas without a color designation are not anticipated to benefit from the lake effect snow this time around. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow continues this morning as a system works across the state. An additional 1-2” is expected across northeast lower by early afternoon, resulting in slippery roads and reduced visibility for the morning commute. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow continues this morning as a system works across the state.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Another round of snow arrives late tonight, with several inches expected south of M-32 by Wednesday evening. Snow-covered roads will lead to slippery conditions, and gusty winds may create blowing snow at times.

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
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!!
