Gaylord Area Trail Report – 02/03
Gaylord Bureau – Feb 3, 2023 – 9:18 a.m. Every inch counts and our snow conditions keep improving! We received about 3 – 4 inches of fresh snow over the weekend and there has been light accummulation throughout the week. Groomers have been running daily in preparation of our Michigan Snowmobile Festival and shared that the trails are going to be the best they have been all year – flat, tight and fast! Be safe, respectful of your fellow snowmobilers and enjoy the ride! As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports. http://www.gaylordmichigan.net/snowmobile-trail-report-114/ <> 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.

Temperatures also climb above freezing through the overnight, remaining there until Thursday evening. The bad news is that gusty winds return late tonight into Thursday. Please see the attached graphics for the latest info. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> More snow and freezing rain is expected early Wednesday morning. Strong east winds will also be seen for most of Wednesday. A few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out as well.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> From Billy Miller in Gaylord. Absolutely wild how trees bend to the ground under the immense weight of the ice. Mary Lou Gagnon-Clark There killing us in Az too . Super sad . It’s band in Florida so we need this genocide to stop <> <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Did you know a 30ft diameter tree can weight up to 7,000 extra lbs with that amount of ice on it? Crazy.
More frequent posting angers the Facebook algorithm. We can fight back by having you like or react to this post even if you don't actually "like" the content. (who does in this case, right?) But, it helps Facebook put the information out there in more news feeds. Heart, like, sad, anger reactions all work. Thanks! #miweather #gaylord
