Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/03
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/03 It’s monday afternoon at 43 degrees and 1:30 p.m. in downtown Frederic, Its not looking good for this week or for the rest of the 28 days of the sledding season. As high as 50s later on this week. I was around town but didnt open up this weekend. I saw sleds over at the swamp via my cameras on saturday, not alot but there some out and about. Things headed downhill from saturday into sunday and I didnt see any sleds. Alot of dirt and rock hard ground out there. At least we got a couple good weeks out of February which is way more than we had last February. Hopefully the u.p. holds out for a while. I would love to maike one more trip up there. I will cut back on updates until something worthwhile comes up like maybe a huge snowstorm. Pics below are out in my parking lot about noon today. Thanks for checking in and remember if you come up in the summer and my truck or car is here just stop in and say hi. I dont turn the open sign on but alot of times I am here just working in my office. Thank you to all that came in to see me when we did have snow. Season number 29 coming up next year.

🌡 The transition to snow brought on by rapidly falling temperatures. Flash freeze possible this evening with any wet surfaces, including roads, from today’s rain having the potential to quickly become icy.
❄️💨 While snow amounts aren't expected to be overwhelming tonight, the combination of minor accumulation, gusty winds (30+ mph), and potential for icy roads are expected to lead to slick travel in spots -- including for the Thursday morning commute. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey 
A blizzard is expected to bring near-impossible travel conditions at times Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday afternoon. Widespread rain will turn to heavy snow from west to east tomorrow and Wednesday. Rain will turn to snow along and west of the Missouri River before midnight Tuesday night and east after midnight tomorrow night. Snowfall rates will near 2" an hour at times from portions of IA to portions of WI. Combining intense snowfall rates and wind gusts between 55 and 70 MPH will cause blizzard conditions for 12-18 hours.
The heaviest totals will be from southwest IA up to the western U.P. with amounts of 5" or greater. A rather sharp cutoff is expected on the eastern edge as it will be warmer, but convective precipitation also decreases. We will have an updated snowfall forecast if needed tomorrow morning. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey~OUTDATED~
