FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/7
It’s amazing, what is this white fluff in the air here in Frederic? While it looks good I dont think it will add up to much but still nice to see it falling. On saturday after six hours of being here in the shop and only 3 people coming in I had enough and put the closed sign up and loaded my sled and headed to the Soo where finally after all the years in here I caught the last ten laps of the I 500. Met up with my brother and Tim and we spent the night there and then off to Strongs sunday morning and rode to Hulbert and back and then to St Ignace where we rode the ice bridge over to the island. That was a good ride but as soon as we got on the island I heard a siren and I was wondering where that was coming from. I was getting stopped for not getting the island permit which is $5……no big deal just fill out a slip and we were on our way. Lunch at the Mustang Lounge and a trip around the island. Good snow there and the snow in downtown at the Soo was almost had the parking meters buried. Trails at Strongs and Hulbert were good too. Winter is definetly going on up there. After leaving the island and heading back Tim lost the aluminun ramp from his clam shell trailer somewhere between downtown St Ignace and Vanderbilt. So if anyone was heading back after about 4 yesterday south on 75 and came across an 5 foot wide aluminum ramp with black ski slides on it please let me know. We probably wouldnt have known about the missing ramp till we got back to Frederic but some dummy ran out of gas and had to get pulled into Vanderbilt…..(name withheld by request). Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via Michigan Storm Chasers >> Good morning everyone. Michigan is going to showcase all seasons for today, March 26th, 2026. ... #miweather #keweenaw#westernup#marquette#munising #seney #newberry #soo #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyGood morning everyone. Michigan is going to showcase all seasons for today, March 26th, 2026. If you're heading north of M-55, a wintry mix will greet you. Snow totals of an inch, perhaps more will be possible, and a snow map will be out in a bit to showcase totals on a statewide basis. Meanwhile, summer is here temporarily as showers and storms move in by late afternoon south of Grand Rapids and Flint. High temperatures will be in the 60s, and even low-70s, especially south of I-94. More warmth means more fuel for storms though, so on a day like today, you should be rooting against warmer high temperatures to avoid severe weather. Speaking of temperatures, just an insane gradient from north to south. High temperatures in the low-20s for the Keweenaw Peninsula, while areas just south of the Michigan state line jump to near 80°F. Precipitation will start early up north, while southern Michigan doesn't start seeing shower activity until afternoon. More details to come in a bit on our severe weather, but the peak timing along and south of I-94 for severe weather will be after 3 pm EDT. Main severe weather hazard today will be very large hail, so it's probably a good idea to protect your valuables today if you're in the southern two rows of counties, just out of an abundance of caution. Bare with us today, it's a lot of information, but we've got you covered from beginning to end.
