After high winds and snowing and blowing on monday we had about a nice 6 to 8 inches of new snow in Frederic overnight. The high winds ripped my big 20 x 40 banner on the front of my building yesterday and I had to get up there on the ladder to get it down. That was alot of fun. We only had a couple inches in grayling by my house. So thats the best snow we have hit us overnight in a while. Maybe we will have a decent amount of riders and decent trails this weekend. My guys I rode with on sunday rode about 80 miles again yesterday and said trails were great. Thanks for checking in. Pete http://frederic-mi.com/category/trail-conditions/ FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> WOW ITS REALLY WINTER, we have had a crazy amount of snow since yesterday. I plowed both Sledheads and my storage area twice and have been plowing all of it again this morning for a third time. Snow is still coming down and its great. Several trailers parked out back already. That part is all great but the next two days they are saying 30s and then back to cold. A little warmth might help it settle in and pack it in so that may be good for the base. Everyone so far this morning is excited. I am hoping to get out for a ride. I would guess we have had at least 18 inches from yesterday and today. Thanks for checking in and Please Ride Safely. Pete #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> There will be some melting before the weekend, but, if you are heading north the current snowpack is looking decent for many winter sport areas! Some areas of the UP that have had excessive lake effect this season are pushing 5-6ft of snow depth! #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey Too bad that color is 40-50 inches, not 50-75 lol and its 1-2 ft not 3-4 ft This supposed to be current snow depth? I’m 7 miles south of pine stump and we’ve gotten well over 2 foot in the last 48 hours alone. There’s way more than 50” out there. Way more than 75 even. Oliver Griepentrog Bruce Griepentrog Brookelynn Natrop Yep WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Lake effect snow lingers today across NW flow snowbelts with generally 1-3” expected across N.L. and 2-3” across E.U. with locally higher amounts possible.
