A few things to remember about groomers:

– Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way.
– Please move off the trail when groomers are coming and allow them to safely pass.
– If you approach a groomer from behind, kindly wait for the operator to signal you to pass.
– Grooming can take place at any time during the day or night.
– Have fun and stay safe!

Sledheads of Frederic – 01/10

It’s a calm and quiet friday morning with 20 degrees here in downtown Frederic. No new snow but there is light snow predicted the next few days. I drove out near Manistee Lake this morning to a house I have listed (sale pending) and was surprised how much snow is still out there. Trail crossings still looked pretty good. Of course everyone always says the snow is better north and west of Frederic. I took a few pics of their roof and picnic table to show the snow out there. There were a few sleds out yesterday around Frederic. The other pic I have down here are the guys that came here and are camped out in my back lot. They were still here when I got here this morning but were gone and riding again by about 9:45. If you do want to ride just enjoy what little we do have. I wish I had better reports. Thanks for checking in. Pete

Michigan Snowmobile Trail Report

WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> SNOW TIME!!
The big system to the south will be giving us a little bit of snow on the north end Friday!
Expect a nice and easy 1-3" for the most part across the area. Roads will be slick at times, but salt and brine treatments should work just fine with temps in the middle 20s.
Winds could be about 10-15mph at times, which isn't too high, but still could cause some blowing around and reduced visibility. Mainly in wide open areas.
TIMING: Snow starts in Southwest Michigan, Lake Michigan shoreline of Northern Lower, and the U.P. between 7-8am. Flint and the TriCities by about 10-11am. Detroit likely after 12pm, maybe even as late as 2pm in some areas.
System snow will wrap up around midnight while lake effect kicks in on the west side of the state behind the system.
Lake effect totals Saturday are NOT included on this map. I'm keeping this for Friday only.
Lake effect Saturday will be very localized with some areas perhaps getting 3-6" more in heavy bands. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsareaSNOW TIME!!
