FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/09
Another ugly day, at least yesterday was sunny and I did talk to 2 guys that put in 70 miles yesterday around Frederic, but things are still deteriorating around here and it is rain/sleet coming down as I type about 11:30 on thursday morning. On the video I posted a few minutes ago I think I said wednesday morning but it is thursday. Weather is supposed to calm back down again after today with maybe some snow later on. After that its gonna be a quiet weekend and then they say back to the 40s next week……time will tell and anything can happen. I have been saying for alot of years that we only get 4 to 5 decent weekends of riding during the 16 week sled season. So far we are at 2 decent weekends. Pics below are outside the door here just a little bit ago and I did get a picture of the helicopter that they landed on M 72 along with the ambulance blocking the road from a rider that was out there as they were hoping to get the injured sledder to the hospital. Sadly he did not make it. Who knows where we will end up on this poor winter, Blah Blah Blah……Thanks for checking in. Pete
