FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/08

It’s gonna get worse…..or is it? Wednesday morning 10:30 a.m. , sunny and 32 degrees. Yesterday I never left home till 3 in the afternoon, walking in the snow was like walking in a slushie drink….Weather predictions for the rest of the week have me confused as they are saying it could be most anything, rain, snow, sleet, slush or system snow.

I even stopped at the National Weather Service just outside of Waters yesterday, many of you have seen the place as the trail runs right by it out by Mancelona road. The guy took me in and showed me around, the main room looks like Mission Control at NASA. He said they launch 2 weather balloons from there everyday. (no they do not get shot down).

It was an interesting visit. I had to go out that way to show a house but turned down Dusty Trail to the house and it was an absolute ice skating rink. I tried to stop and was heading downhill with no control so I turned into the snow bank and hit it with my plow which stopped me before I got to the really big part of the hill. I would have never got out if I went down the big hill. I slid for a while and right into a guys drive and then made it out. I didnt even figure a wrecker would try coming down that road……So the wait is on again, melting ice and snow and will we get to ride again…..Stay tuned to see what happens but I have a feeling we arent gonna like it. Thanks for checking in. Pete
