Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/19
Happy Birthday to me……the best birthday present ever, 6 to 8 inches of new lake effect snow here in frederic overnight, its about 10:30 now and I just came in from plowing, Have seen about ten sleds thru town this morning so far. Trouble with this lake effect is its only good for the lucky ones that get thru it first then it wears down fast but hey its the best we have had in a while.
I only had about a half inch of new lake effect at lake margrethe this morning so this was a pleasant surprise when I got here. Last night it showed Frederic on the edge of the winter weather advisory and they hit it right. So I think I may try a short spin but I have alot more snow to plow down at the storage lot. Pics below are from outside the shop here this morning. Also shout out to my daughter who also turns 28 today, she was the best birthday present a dad could ever have. I cant believe I am so old hitting 64 now and I like to say that my age is the same as my waist……I was fourty when I started this place…Boy time flies when your having fun.
Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After a mild and occasionally rainy day today, much colder temperatures arrive this evening through Friday. Temperatures are expected to fall a good 10-20 degrees this evening through tonight. leading to a potential flash freeze of wet roads. Renewed snow chances will accompany this colder air with several inches of accumulation, especially in the snow belts of northern lower & eastern upper. In addition, strong winds upwards of 35-45 mph late tonight into Friday will lead to blowing snow. All said, travel will become hazardous later this evening through Friday across much of northern Michigan. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey
JORDAN VALLEY AREA UPDATE via Jordan Valley Trails Council >> Current condition’s are 32* and drizzle. Today’s warmup is melting/settling the snow quickly. We’ll regroup Friday as temps drop and hope the snowfall comes back.
Prior to this warmup, trails had 2-5” of compacted snow on them, which should give us a good solid base going forward.
In just 2 days, snow has dropped 2+” according to the National Weather Service snow gauge. The Antrim County Snowmobile Club snow gauge is sitting at 4” #jordanvalley #gaylord #snowphotos
