FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/18
A Slight dusting…..but wait theres more. I put my plow back on this morning because the weather forcast looks promising. Calling for 3 to six inches by tonight. Still it is very icy and hard under neath. I wouldnt be surprised to see a couple people try to ride today. Not exactly what I would want to ride my sled on. If we do get what they are predicting that would be a little help. Just be careful with all the ice out there. I also would like to send a Happy Birthday shout out to Bruce Young today. I have kind of lost track I believe he is around the 75 year mark. Happy Birthday Bruce! Hope you have a great day. Picture below is trail 7 looking north at the north end of Frederic at Hulbert road. While it looks nice and white its just a dusting on top of the ice. I will be here all day if any of you want to stop by on your way to the u.p. Exit 264, wake me up if I am sleeping. Thanks for checking in. Pete

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Meltdown is not what we want to see this time of year. We lost alot of snow overight and it is now icy and slippery. Strong winds and rain most of the night didnt do us any favors. I was outside about 5 this morning and it was very warm out there. Currently at about 11 friday morning its 33 degrees and slight snow in the air. I have had several calls on people wondering what its like out. There is still alot of snow in the woods but with all the rain I think you will go right thru the slush to the bottom. On the other hand weather said we could get up to 4 inches tonight. Its amazing how great conditions can be and how fast it can dissapear ……Pics below are all this morning. If you stop by to see me just wake me up cause I think this is going to be a boring day... Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Rain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday. Temperatures will warm into the 40s and low 50s overnight, combining with rain to quickly melt snow across the area. Localized minor flooding will be possible and widespread fog will lead to reduced visibility. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyRain will spread across northern Michigan this evening into Friday.

WEATHER UPDATE via Pictured Rocks Marine Weather Conditions >> OK, here's the latest! Shown below is the expected 24-hour snowfall accumulation from 7pm today through 7pm Friday, along with the 24-hour snowfall from 7am Saturday through 7am Sunday. The 12-hour "gap" in between those two periods is the lull between the two waves of snow, when not much is expected to happen. And the snowmelt from the warm spell today should largely have ceased by then. More snow is also expected after 7am on Sunday and even into Monday, but it's a bit too early to call the snow amounts for that time period. Winter will not succumb to our brief warm spell! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Meltdown is not what we want to see. Weather thru next tuesday is pretty much in upper 30s, things are icy and melting. It never fails that we have great snow and then in a few days it starts to leave us. Riding on sunday and monday was some of the best snow we have had in years. Lets see what things look like after a few days of this. Its wednesday morning about 10:30 in the morning and 35 degrees. All we can do is wait but here are some pics from riding sunday and monday. 2 pics are around my building and parking lot. Looking a little slick. Thanks for checking in.

Monday was epic for us. Rode from Indian River to Cheboygan, east for lunch at the Bluffs, on to millersburg, then back. Not a mogul the whole trip and only met one sled before lunch.
WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Precip ends tonight, although fog remains with reduced visibility. Rain returns Thurs PM into Fri as temps moderate. However, icy secondary roads could develop, along with ice jams along rivers, and perhaps localized minor flooding. Next chance for snow is this weekend. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Not liking the weather forcast for the rest of the week and coming weekend. Ended up closed again yesterday as there was another blessing of 6 inches of snow and we took off on another great ride of untouched snow, leaving Frederic and up towards mount Frederic and lakes of the north to starvation lake and back to Frederic. Lunch at the hide away and back to Frederic. About 150 miles of prime riding between sunday and monday. Sundays ride took us to lovells for a great pizza. Now time to get to real work today. Pics below are of the Jordan Valley groomers with a giant project on the trail. The guys were there to get the track back on the groomer. It actually came off a few days ago but they had to gather up equipment to put it back together. Wow what a huge project. A big thank you to all those volunteer guys. Thanks for checking in.
