FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/24
Well a little surprise this morning in Grayling with a few inches of wet and heavy snow on the bottom and a little lake effect on the top. There is still ice on Lake Margrethe but there are places where the ice is opening up. I am still at home this morning so I havent actually drove in this snow. It looks nice out there and I would bet someone will ride in this but it will be right down to the dirt. Its supposed to go to about 35 today. Still 7 more days of this sled season. Took the 2 pics below out my front door. Thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC AREA SPRING RIDING via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> I put this video together from my ride today unfortunately it’s not in the right order because I’m not real sure how to do that shows where I was stuck and getting pulled out then I skipped the water hole after I had my power setting raised on my sled as I was riding, I came into it unexpectedly, not knowing there was that much water there And just didn’t have enough power to get through it..

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
Light lake effect overnight, about 1 inch of new fluff

ST. HELEN AREA UPDATE via St. Helen Snowpackers Snowmobile & ORV Club >> **SNOWMOBILE TRAIL UPDATE**
We are in pretty good shape considering it’s mid-December.
Plenty of snow on the trails.
The base is building but, going easy on the throttle will help keep it in place
A little snirty and thin in some areas, mostly corners.
Get out and ride!
Have Fun! Be Safe! Stay Right! -SEN #sthelen #gaylord
