FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/30
I’m Melting. It still looks like its gonna be a long while till we get back to riding if at all. When I opened my door at home this morning the first thing I heard was dripping water off the roof. Still alot of white if you look into the woods but the trails are pretty ugly. I wish I had better things to say but we are toast for now. I was closed this past weekend and if I find something more fun to do that be here I might be closed again. I hope they can pull off the I 500 in the Soo this weekend and I will be here bright and early tommorow morning to watch the Wertz Warrior ride pull into the Swamp. That should be interesting. Somewhere in my travels on monday the Wertz Warriors semi trucks passed me. They are supposed to be pulling into Frederic between 9 and 10 tommorow morning. I wll do a video and pics from there. I cant believe that they will have any sleds riding but time will tell. Weather on t.v. just said above average temps for the next 7 days. Its now tuesday about noon as I type this.Trail crossing pics are from this morning.
FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw#westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea#petoskey#gaylord#cadillac#traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
