FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/20
A small amount of good news this morning. Yesteday with the whole maybe 2 inches we had fall it was a total slush bowl as it stayed above 32 most of the day. During the night it dropped into the 20s which has firmed everything up. Still in my opinion nothing I would want to ride in but I have seen worse. What little bit of snow we have wont last long on the trails. Looked at the crossing east and west by the high school and no tracks but a few tracks going north on trail 7 out of frederic and at the 612 crossing east of frederic. I did see one sled over at the swamp yesterday and you can see in the pics that he went right thru the slush to the dirt..At least its supposed to stay cool. Not much new snow predicted. I talked to my friend Bob up in Engadine yesterday and he said they had about a new foot of snow so the u.p. might be getting back in shape. I havent checked on any other places up there. Stop in if you are passing thru Frederic……I am 2 miles from exit 264. Will be here till five today and tommorow…..Thanks for checking in. Pete
FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> STAY OFF THE ICE & LAKES Once again 2 more sledders fell thru and drowned. That makes 4 this season, the first 2 were just walking on the ice and went thru and these next 2 were riding. Please be aware of where you are at. We had about 2 inches of new fluffy overnight again. Riders that were in yesterday were having a good time and the snow is holding pretty good. Lets see how this week goes. They are callilng for warmer temps later in the week. Thanks for checking in. Pete... #gaylord... See MoreSee Less

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday. Gusty winds will lead to blowing and drifting snow, leading to quick drops in visibility – especially across open areas. Wind chills look to stay below zero today into tonight. Cold temperatures may also lead to freezing of wet roads this morning, contributing to potentially hazardous travel conditions for the first half of the weekend. #miweather #gaylord#cadillac#benzie#traversecity#petoskeyAccumulating lake effect snow continues across northern Michigan today into Sunday.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Friday riders were out but certainly no big crowds, light sled traffic. I see 6 sleds over at the swamp right now and am sure they are there for the breakfast buffet. My gut feeling is its gonna be a slow saturday but conditions are still better than we have seen in years. Had dinner at the Frederic Inn last night and 3 of us had the prime rib and it was great as usual. Left overs for lunch today. Pics below are all from yesterday and last night. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord#snowphotos... See MoreSee Less
