Gaylord Area Trail Report – 02/25
Gaylord Bureau – February 25, 2025 9:05 a.m. As you may know, both of our groomers are currently out for repairs. Our neighboring communities have been able to lend a hand and several of our trails were groomed last week. Thank you to our grooming friends in Lewiston, Grayling and Indian River for getting us ready for last weekend! After a brief warm up and lots of visitors over the weekend, conditions may be quite rough. We’ll update you with any other grooming taking place once we are aware. Please give a big wave to these groomers if you see them out and about! They are going above and beyond to help our their snowmobiling friends and the Gaylord community. We extend a sincere thank you to them for their efforts! Keep in mind, our trails are in poor to fair shape and will likely get bumpier. We will keep you updated on the status of our groomers and let you know once grooming resumes. Ride safe and stay tuned for updates! Check out this live feed to see trail #7, just north of Gaylord. A few things to remember about our groomers and trails: – Groomers are out there to help you have a better riding experience and always have the right of way. Want to be ready?

FREDERIC - GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> Good morning from downtown Frederic... meltdown in process, a lot of mud and water.... #gaylord #snowphotos WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A few drips or flakes possible out there this morning, but highs are expected to rise above freezing, though not as much as yesterday. A system tracking through the region Wednesday will bring a wintry mix and light snow to the region, followed by a punch of cold air and snow Thursday with a clipper system. A more potent looking clipper system is possible Friday, resulting in potential for a wider range of temperatures across the area. Stay tuned as we continue to work out the details. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA few drips or flakes possible out there this morning, but highs are expected to rise above freezing, though not as much as yesterday.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> After a near record warmth day… Temperatures cool along with chances of scattered rain and snow showers to the region tonight/Tuesday morning. Even a glaze of ice for localized areas cannot be ruled out at this time. Precipitation chances continue at times for the remainder of the week. However; no heavy/impactful amounts are expected at this time. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAfter a near record warmth day… Temperatures cool along with chances of scattered rain and snow showers to the region tonight/Tuesday morning.

First its no snow, I want to ride, then we have snow and then to much snow, to much plowing, then more snow, great trails, then broke groomers. Now today its sunny and 43 degrees. Just no happy spot. From one extreme to the other. Snow to deep to ride in or easy to get stuck. Weather forcast for this next few days seems to warm so time will tell what the next step is going to be. On the bright side I had a great 60 mile ride to Lovells in yesterday and we found plenty of 2 plus feet fields of untouched snow. #gaylord #snowphotos frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> With a rare clear sky and warm February day for Northern Michigan, its always a great opportunity to look at the ice coverage and snowpack across the region. Even with temperatures well above freezing... there is still plenty of snow keeping the "mitten state" very white and blue! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyWith a rare clear sky and warm February day for Northern Michigan, its always a great opportunity to look at the ice coverage and snowpack across the region. Even with temperatures well above freezing... there is still plenty of snow keeping the "mitten state" very white and blue! WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Primary story for the first half of the week will be the milder temperatures, especially today. Breezy southwesterly flow will melt snow and could boost temperatures well into the 40s, particularly if we are able to break into any sunshine this afternoon. A stray flurry or drizzle could linger into Tuesday, with slightly cooler but still warm temperatures ahead of a more organized system that will bring the wintry mix potential back to the area for Wednesday…with potential for some accumulating snow in its wake Thursday with a potent punch of cold air. Be aware that snowmelt could lead to localized ponding in areas with snow-covered storm drains, along with ice jam potential on area rivers. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyPrimary story for the first half of the week will be the milder temperatures, especially today.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A disturbance passing through could bring some flurries or light snow at times. Otherwise, temperatures will try to warm toward the 40s to start the work week as southerly flow ramps up tonight into Monday. However, melting snow could lead to grungier and drearier conditions than currently expected. A couple more disturbances pass through the region tonight into Monday morning, and Monday night into Tuesday morning, with potential for a more organized system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA disturbance passing through could bring some flurries or light snow at times.
