Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/05
Last night news said no new snow for 10 days so now I think it’s a countdown to 9 days. They said that the only snow was the half inch was that we did get last night and that was a fluffy lake effect. Not what we want to hear. I drove to Gaylord last night and looked at the mud path also known as trail 7. Didnt look appealing to me. But I did have 5 sleds into the shop this morning from some Ohio guys ready to ride, they have been hear a few days and are still trying to squeeze in some riding. I measured the snow down at my pole barn next to my storage lot. Today was the first time I drove back into it since the first of December and it has been untouched and I measured 7 inches in there so if you could find a spot like that untouched that is what is out there. I have to think we are going to lose alot of that this week yet. So that’s enough doom and gloom, pictures below are of the new Sledheads face masks / neck gators I just got in….. Also stay off the lakes as ice is still thin, 2 sleds went in the past couple days but people were rescued. 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
