FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/02
Here we go again for another fresh start. About 4 to 5 fresh inches of fluffy lake effect snow here in Frederic today Jan 2. Its 1:30 p.m. and I didnt get here till about noon. We had only about 2 inches in Grayling and I have seen 6 sleds this morning. Rich and Lisa rode in from Lakes of the North and they said they have more snow there. Their pic is below with 2 other pics I took outside here this morning. I still call this very marginal riding snow as you just go right thru to the dirt on the first pass but we have to start over so we can build from here. My gut feeling is that there will be a fair amount of riders around friday and saturday as there is supposed to be more snow coming but we really need a nice thick system snow to get it packing. So let get this winter going. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow continues tonight into Sunday as winds shift more northwesterly, shifting focus of snows with time.

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
