Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/03
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/03 I love the cold. A nice cold zero degrees out when I left home this morning. We had maybe another inch and a half, 2 inches if you stretch it yesterday. The cold is holding the trails for now at least till it warms up again and maybe rains on Monday. I think this will be a decent day of riding as groomers are out and about, but keep in mind there is still maybe only 6 compacted inches on the trails themselves. Traffic was hit and miss yesterday but riders stil lhaving a decent ride. Kind of the same old thing. Pics below are from yesterday and look in the background to see the train passing thru as riders were leaving. A rider stopped in yesterday and told me I pushed motivated him to finally getting knee surgery and that he was so glad he did. I had mine on Nov 17 and he had it on the 14th……He said he feels 30 years younger and is getting his other knee done in march….I am still healing and have some pain and I think last years knee went better. Hopefully I will ease up on the discomfor soon……..I put it off way to long too like Mark did but am glad its done now. So now I can get out there and do the snow dance…….Thanks for checking in.

*Additionally, strong winds in areas that received heavy icing will exacerbate tree damage and infrastructural impacts*
Cold temperatures filter in to northern Michigan behind the major winter storm. Consequently, for those without power, dangerously cold temperatures are expected this afternoon through Tuesday night. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey 
They report that tree damage has led to ~87% of the county's residents losing power as of this morning (3/16). One webcam that was operational on the east side of the lake displays ice-encrusted trees along the shoreline. Winds today could unfortunately exacerbate the power outage situation. #miweather #gaylordThe Houghton Lake and Roscommon County areas have been severely hit by freezing rain in the past 24 hrs, leading to a declaration of a local state of emergency by the Roscommon County Board.

Please pray for continuation of power & safety. But so far so good at Heart Lake Resort! #gaylord #snowphotos

Phase 2 of the Winter Storm is kicking off! This will bring heavy snow and gusty winds still for the U.P. and Tip of the Mitt. The icing area we have talked about for the last few days landed where we thought it would. Leelanau down to Wexford and Northeast. These areas could see up to .5" of ice through today and tonight with isolated higher amounts. Winds will continue to gust upwards of 40-50mph. The snow totals map you see is on top of what you have already seen.
Don't be fooled, the lull from the initial burst to the second part is the system nearing. The second phase will be the worst with this storm. This afternoon - Monday morning.
I will be live with an update this evening at 6, right here on the 9&10 Facebook page and the 9&10 News YouTube channel.
We will also be live on tv at 11! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberry
A dangerous ice storm will begin tonight for portions of northern lower Michigan. The heaviest ice accretion takes aim in a localized area from Traverse City to Gaylord to Atlanta with over 0.50" of ice expected. Around this area, a zone of significant icing between 0.25' to 0.50" is expected - which is still enough to take down tree limbs and create power outages. The worst of the icing will be tonight into Monday morning, and then we deal with high winds moving in Monday morning as well which will only exaggerate the effects of this event.
Plan for multi day outages, near impossible travel, and scattered tree damage, some significant. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #soo #newberryFinal Update For Ice Accretion:
