Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/29
It’s a start, we had about 3 inches of new lake effect snow here in frederic overnight, its a nice cold 20 degrees out right now but the sun is way brighter than I would like to see. The weatherman says to expect another 6 overnight to night. I had to run to Gaylord last night and I probably saw 30 sleds on the trail along old 27 with about a dozen sleds parked at the Keg in Waters, and I did see a few sleds thru town here yesterday too. People just want to ride and I guess a ride on bad trails is better than no ride at all. I even checked the motels in Grayling this morning again and the count was way up with 1 trailer at the Days Inn and 2 trailers at the Ramada……Also the forcast has lost the prediction of rain in it too so that may be promising……The pic below I just took out the front door here. I see a sled circled the building this morning already before I got here. Also the death count is up to two now. Remember to ride safely, it only takes a second to die. Thanks for checking in.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Snow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice. For northern lower, areas of drizzle will transition to a band of rain showers later tonight, perhaps ending as some snow showers / flurries. Calmer but cooler weather ahead the next couple days before the next batch of light wintry precipitation arrives Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeySnow tapers this evening, leaving drizzle and freezing drizzle across eastern upper Michigan, which could lead to a glaze of ice.
