Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 01/17
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 01/17 It’s a sunny 27 degree friday morning. Supposed to be in the 30s today but then cool down. I have seen several sleds out and about this morning. Yesterday there were the most people that have been in here in a while so I think people are going to be coming to ride regardless of the thin snow. Its supposed to cool down alot for about 5 days so maybe we will get some snow along with the cold. For those of you that like to go to Spikes Keg O Nails that is downtown Graylin on the business loop. There is construction going on which keeps you from riding your sled to Spikes to eat. There are a couple of plowed areas at the Crawford County court house that you can park your sled at and walk down Michigan Ave to the business loop and then over to Spikes. I took some pics down there this morning to help you see how to get there. The parking is right next to the sled trail by the RR tracks. Its a short walk to get a yummy Spike Burger. Thanks for checking in.

They keep saying a clipper and then scattered new snow but I still havent seen any accumulation. So still in the past week in Frederic hasnt had hardly enough snow for me to plow. I saw a few sleds around town yesterday. Just seems to be the same old story everyday. Pics below are the trail crossings north of the high school and out in my parking lot this morning. I also put my side by out there for sale. I hardly ever use it and it has a great boss plow on it. Forcasts calling for snow the first few days of next week so maybe it will add up. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos Calm and quiet with no new snow frederic-mi.com Rode out of Grayling today all the way to Mancelona. Definitely worth it and if you take some of the less traveled trails you will really be surprised by how good of riding there is to be had. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system passing through the region will punt ongoing widespread light snow eastward this morning, transitioning things to primarily NW flow lake effect by this afternoon. Localized totals of 1 to 3 inches of snow are possible by this evening in the typical NW flow snow belts. Pockets of snow covered roads and reduced visibilities will result in hazardous travel in some areas today. Highs in the lower 30s today. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA clipper system passing through the region will punt ongoing widespread light snow eastward this morning, transitioning things to primarily NW flow lake effect by this afternoon.
