Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/01
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/01 Trails are open, I have heard sleds out but havent seen any. We went for a ride yesterday and my ski dud stranded me, The battery went dead, but Big John pulled me back along with Timmy who was also with us. I put a new battery in it and I loaded her up for the next time That was a 20 mile ride with a 5 mile tow. Snow was fantastic with still alot of trees hanging off of trees. Still a short but great ride. I am still moving snow as there is still so much of it. Thanks for checking in.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Doug Haner, Rob, Knowles, Al Parks first ride of the year. I haven't put an update on because there's so much snow and I'm plowing there's 3 feet of snow around Sledheads and I haven't even touched that yet. I will be plowing most of the day tomorrow. These guys sent me their picture they had called me and they stopped by there's a lot of sleds out and about. I saw probably about a dozen in Frederick at the Swamp earlier. It's now Friday night about 630 and I could stay here and plow all night probably this is crazy. I haven't ever seen this much snow here. #gaylord #snowphotosDoug Haner, Rob, Knowles, Al Parks first ride of the year.

Lake effect snow continues tonight downwind of the big lakes into Monday AM.
A few more inches for the classic snowbelts into tonight.
NW winds tonight go more SW by Monday PM.
More lake effect near the Lake MI shoreline, Straits & U.P. late Monday into Tuesday with some locally higher totals.
Another system Wednesday late AM & PM could bring more snow.

Pretty spot on! We had very minor fluctuations, which I know Meteorologist Joel Fritsma will likely dive into a full analysis later on this week, but overall the forecast was VERY solid.
Let us know how much you got!
(FYI: The UP has lake effect snow ramping up today which will add to their totals. That WAS included in our forecast but it HAS NOT yet fallen) #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
Essentially, this is nearly the same map I shared previously. I just narrowed the ranges slightly. Shape is the exact same. I do think some lake enhancement from Lake Huron is possible, so, I highlighted that. Also, the higher elevations of the western U.P. COULD get slightly more. I'd say it's just a chance, but a big enough chance that I added it to the map.
This is just a fine, fine tune before the big event. Think of it as I just polished my Stingray before a car show 😛
Feel free to ask questions in the comments! I am ALWAYS here to do my best to clarify and help so you can know exactly what to expect. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySNOW POTENTIAL!!
