Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/23
Not a flake of new snow overnight. There was light sled traffic around Frederic and I had a few in here. One guy told me the best riding they had was north of Gaylord on 7 on up to the Thirsty Sturgeon in Wolverine. There were 3 sleds at the gas station when I got here this morning and a three guys from down by the Ohio line that had unloaded out back here. They said that was there first time in this area. I would say my rating on what we have out there is maybe a hair above poor to fair. There is no grooming yet but 2 riders told me they saw a groomer panning on 76. I forgot to put a shout out yesterday from Jerry in Metamora to Cathy who was at home reading my updates. Weather is still calling for snow each day thru next Thursday, now they just need to come thru with it. Grayling Motels were pretty empty, 3 trailers at Ramada and zero at days in this morn. 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 Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
