Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/23 It’s a nice 18 degrees out this morning in downtown frederic with a fresh 4 inches of lake effect. While I am never to thrilled about that things look very nice out there and its all we have. Temps will be good for riding this weekend and after the brutal minus 15 we had the past few days this is quite welcome. Things are supposed to stay decent with a little snow fall the next week. I only wish we could have got blasted the way downstate did by kzoo. My brother has been plowing for 3 days and I wanted to take my sled down there to ride but didnt want to try those minus temps. Dress warm, wear a back brace and you should be good. Thats the best I can tell you. I am actually getting my plow truck out today and gonna clean up a bit around Sledheads. I havent had it out in a week as I wanted what little snow we had to get packed down. thanks for checking in.

The first one is the synoptic (aka "system") snow associated with a low that is moving east through southern Ohio. The counterclockwise flow around the low is shown over Metro Detroit as moisture interacts with decreasing temps, leading to this morning's snowfall.
Over the U.P. and Lake Michigan, the north winds are ushering in the coldest air of the season, which activates lake effect snow and transitions to the second portion of this snow event. Counties in the corner of southwest lower Michigan, northern Indiana and Illinois are set to receive a firehose of lake effect over the next 24-36 hrs, resulting in accumulations that could push one foot.
Portions of northern lower Michigan and the Saginaw Bay region are also set to receive lake effect snowfall through this evening, with amounts of 3-6 inches possible, with isolated higher amounts. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #newberry #soo #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey
