Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/15
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 02/15
Suprise, A little snow fell. Its about 9 a.m. thursday morning and about 2 inches of snow has fallen in Grayling and Frederic so far. Schools are closed but I cant believe they closed for what has happened so far. I have talked to several people this morning as I left town yesterday.
Here are my thoughts. We need a heck of alot of snow to be able to ride. Yesterday as I was walking around the building I could see rock hard frozen sled tracks from 2 sleds that must have rode thru last week during the mud bog. There tracks stood out big as day. Thats what the ground is like underneath. I am going to stick with my feeling that we need alot more of system snow than lake effect snow. I know we have to start somewhere with new snow. The good part is its supposed to stay cold.
Pics below are from my cameras this morning. Thanks for checking in. Pete

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Ongoing heavy lake effect snow will continue to organize. Snowfall totals of 12-18" are expected across areas southeast of Grand Traverse Bay near Kalkaska. Localized amounts of 18"+ are possible by Monday morning. Snowfall rates of 1" to 3" per hour will lead to rapid accumulations on roads and near-zero visibility underneath heaviest banding, creating dangerous travel conditions. Use extreme caution if traveling on M-72, M-66, and US-131 near the Kalkaska area this evening and tonight. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyOngoing heavy lake effect snow will continue to organize.

FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Wow! Finally a year with rideable snow on December 1st. Sleds have been riding in all morning, first phone call came at 7:30 this morning and trailers are parked everywhere. I would guess another eight inches of snow over night and trying to keep up plowing is a trick. For those of you that have parked trailers at my storage lot I am not going to take any trailers at this time as I am already tight on room down there. Just check with me ahead of time to see if I can get some room down there. Parking out back behind my shop will be just daily and by donation. I would say we have to be about the 2 foot mark for the snow this week. Still the same story at Lake Margrethe by my house and I havent even dropped my blade yet at home. The snow is all north and west of Frederic. I cant even remember the last time we had snow on December 1. The snow is supposed to keep it up all week so I imagine next weekend will be really busy. Please remember to ride safely. This is the start of my 27th or 28th year in this place. Boy time flies when your having fun. Thanks for checking in. Pete all the pics below are from this morning in downtown Frederic. #frederic #gaylord #snowphotos

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> You guessed it... more lake effect snow today into Monday. Lake effect snow bands will continue to intrude into northern Michigan, which could lead to quick drops in visibility if traveling into one. Some areas could see an additional foot of snow by Monday morning. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyYou guessed it... more lake effect snow today into Monday.
