Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/10
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 12/09 The day has flew by, I have tried several times to sit down to do this and people keep coming in. Its snowing pretty good outside right now and many riders are out again today. Who know how long this will last. I was going to try for the bridge yesterday but started out and trail was chattery and I didnt feel like getting beat up but today I talked to 2 different riders that rode up there yesterday and that makes me wish I would have followed thru, instead I rode trails around Frederic and because I thought I needed to go places no one had been and try to fight 2 feet of untouched powder going up a steep hill while nobody else was with me I just had to get stuck 2 different times and have a heck of a time getting out, but I made it but then decided to stick to the regular trails. Its been a long time since I can say we have almost 2 much snow. Ted sent me a video of the grayling groomers out this afternoon, both of them running together and leaving a perfect flat trail after their pass thru. Also take note there will be a trail reroute by the end of this week on trail 679, One mile west of Deward rd,trail 679 wiill be rerouted around a new oil well pad…..It will have signage at it…..Thats it for today, pics below are from my ride yesterday.

No one around and 31 degrees. Surprisingly we had about an inch and a half of pebbly sleet/snow yesterday. I only saw 2 groups of 3 sleds and one group of 2 all day yesterday. 3 of those sleds are pictured below and they were the only ones yesterday. Looks like we might get some snow the beginning of the week. The riders from yesterday were happy to be out but its hard out there. I met a youngster in town this morning from St Henry Ohio who is a regular rider. I didnt get his name. but its great to see young people wanting to ride. Thats about it for today, just waiting to see who stops by. So far no one. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> An impactful storm system will move into Michigan Sunday into early next week, with accumulating snow, strong winds, and blowing snow. The best chances for heavy snow will be across the Upper Peninsula, and the snow belts of lower Michigan. Rain will likely mix in for portions of lower Michigan during the day on Sunday before transitioning to snow during the Sunday night into Monday time frame. There is still uncertainty in snow amounts and the intensity of the storm system, so be sure to check back for updates! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAn impactful storm system will move into Michigan Sunday into early next week, with accumulating snow, strong winds, and blowing snow.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> 30 years ago this would have been the start of hell week. GM, Chrysler, & Ford would all be closed up and thousands would flock north for winter break and fun in the snow. Well fast forward from that 30 years ago and its pretty darn lonely here now. Sleet coming down this morning and a marginal amount of snow. It used to be so much different with snow in Frederic compared to Grayling. Forcast isnt looking great for this week either. I did see a few sleds out on Christmas eve day and the pic below of the 3 of them over at the swamp. Nothing so far today and its 11 a..m and 29 degrees. So it looks like I will get a few t.v. shows in this week. Stop by and say Hi if you do make it up or just wake me up if you catch me taking a nap. youtu.be/dCwgYCMq11g?si=mey8eKZMbZyscZJg frederic-mi.com WOLVERINE - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via The Thirsty Sturgeon >> If you’re thinking about coming to the Thirsty today…be careful please.

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Merry Christmas from all of us at Jordan Valley Trails #jordanvalley #gaylordMerry Christmas from all of us at Jordan Valley Trails WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A messy winter system will bring impacts the region at varying times to the region tonight and much of Friday. Accumulating snow will be most impactful in eastern upper, while a messy mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain / drizzle impacts much of northern lower. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
A major winter storm is expected to bring significant snowfall to portions of the region. Most of the accumulating snow will be along and north of I-80. No matter how much snow will fall, there will be strong northwest winds that will create blowing and drifting snow. Travel north of I-80 will be near impossible at times. Some road closures are possible along and north of I-90 given greater accumulation and more persistent blizzard-like conditions. Heaviest snowfall totals through sunrise Tuesday (there will be more after) will be along Lake Superior. Snowfall rates could exceed 2" an hour at times due to lake enhancement. Expect over a foot in most areas along the lakeshore before dropping as you get closer to the WI border. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey~(Updated) Snowfall Forecast Sunrise Sunday-Sunrise Tuesday~
