FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/02
Still cold but no new snow overnight, predictions are for some more tonight, this should bring us a decent weekend of riding…..dont get to excited cause they are predicting rain next tues and wednesday. I did just have two guys from ohio in that rode to the bridge yesterday and said it was a decent ride. Thats good news cause the wertz warriors called yesterday wondering if anyone had rode up there plus they were wondering if anyone had rode to the bridge from Johannesburg. If you did please give me a call and let me know how it was. They are going to check with me later on today. So todays pics are all from Wertz Warriors at the swamp for their early morning stop and breakfast over there. Julie, Rob and the crew whipped up an incredible breakfast for the guys and she gave them a nice donation all to go to support Special Olympics. They ended their day at the Special Olympics in Traverse City and gave rides to all the kids there.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 2/3/26, 3am...A cooler day today with lingering north flow lake effect snow showers, especially near and west of Traverse City. Highs struggle to escape the teens. A quiet and warmer day Wednesday…before the next system approaches for Thursday, bringing a return of snow. Then, a more potent cold front looks to drop in early Friday, bringing much colder temperatures Friday afternoon and into the weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey2/3/26, 3am...A cooler day today with lingering north flow lake effect snow showers, especially near and west of Traverse City.

JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Monday update:
Pisten Bully is still down on trail 4/76. NDA ordered Wednesday showed up Saturday afternoon. Crew got out there Sunday but found more damage and parts were ordered today.
If you happen to find this boogie wheel between Alba and trail 76 north of Elmira please notify us, we need to get our hands on it. New part is on order and scheduled to be in tomorrow.
If all goes as planned trails will be back in shape by end of the week.
Huge thank you to Mike, Kevin, Phil, Rich and Craig for trying to get repairs made in timely fashion. Nothing our volunteers can do about shipping delays or parts availability. #jordanvalley #gaylord #petoskey

Skies will be partly to mostly sunny. Clouds increase tonight, and snow is likely late tonight into Monday morning. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are likely in eastern upper and northwest lower Michigan, with an inch or less in northern lower Michigan. The midweek period looks quiet again, though with colder temperatures, especially Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAfter a chilly start to the morning, temperatures will climb decently on this Sunday.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Another perfect day for riding in northern michigan. Temp has made it to 25 and sled traffic has been steady. The Swamp has been busy all day and its saturday and that makes me think about Frederic Inn prime rib. Went down to Houghton Lake last night for the second friday night at Tip Up Town. I havent been down there in 30 years or probably more. Once a year the State Police come thru Frederic on the train to catch riders doing rail road trespass which can be as simple as being to close to the tracks so the moral of the story is STAY AWAY FROM THE TRACKS. Usually the train has a MSP sign on it but it did not today but I did see a sheriff car following along on old 27. They have been thru twice this afternoon and it was just 2 engines which never happens any other time. Not to much else to say. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
A Beautiful Saturday in Frederic

Our next good chance for snow arrives Sunday night into Monday; this may impact the forecast you get from your local groundhog. Quiet but somewhat cooler weather returns for Tuesday. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyNorthern Michigan will see a quiet weekend, with temperatures gradually recovering out of the recent deep freeze.

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> The daytime temps have been running 12 to 16 degrees all week and are gonna raise a bit next week but the great part is there is no melting going on and trails are good most everywhere. This has been a busy friday as I keep thinking its saturday. This whole season has brought in alot of people that havent been in here in years. That part is fun to see all of these past customers and memories I have with them. Little kids from years ago that are grown and bringing in their families. Bob Compton from south of Jackson who always says I need men sized shirts in here. He made an apperance here today after a many year absense. Not supposed to be much snow this weekend so get out and ride and enjoy it. The pic below is a regular who has a place near here in Frederic, I never remember his name but he was by yesterday to show off his new sled. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos
