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. Thanks for checking in. Pete http://frederic-mi.com/category/trail-conditions/ WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Precip will gradually taper through the evening. Temperatures also climb above freezing through the overnight, remaining there until Thursday evening. The bad news is that gusty winds return late tonight into Thursday. Please see the attached graphics for the latest info. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Additional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas. Snow will continue to spread across the area, leading to 1-2" of wet accumulations for many south of the bridge before switching over rain. Strong winds are expected today with gusts to 40+ mph, potentially leading to more down trees and limbs from recent icing. Thunderstorms are also possible this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyAdditional icing across the area appears less likely today with only a glaze of ice possible for some areas.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> More snow and freezing rain is expected early Wednesday morning. Strong east winds will also be seen for most of Wednesday. A few thunderstorms cannot be ruled out as well. The good news is that temperatures will warm this afternoon. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyMore snow and freezing rain is expected early Wednesday morning.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm. This could lead to dangerous conditions for those without power or a safe source of heat. Looking ahead, it will be quieter Tuesday before another system brings the potential for another active wintry system for midweek. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskeyA cold night is on tap as temps fall into the teens and perhaps single digits across much of northern Michigan, especially in areas heavily impacted by the recent ice storm.

Does anyone have any information that would explain why Antrim County was excluded from the the governor’s State of Emergency? Are there any numbers showing ice accumulation for Antrim as compared to surrounding areas? WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> From Billy Miller in Gaylord. Absolutely wild how trees bend to the ground under the immense weight of the ice. Mary Lou Gagnon-Clark There killing us in Az too . Super sad . It’s band in Florida so we need this genocide to stop <> <>
– Please move off the trail when groomers are approaching 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, so stay alert.
– Always ride on the right side of the trail.
– Ride safe and ride sober.Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
Did you know a 30ft diameter tree can weight up to 7,000 extra lbs with that amount of ice on it? Crazy.
More frequent posting angers the Facebook algorithm. We can fight back by having you like or react to this post even if you don't actually "like" the content. (who does in this case, right?) But, it helps Facebook put the information out there in more news feeds. Heart, like, sad, anger reactions all work. Thanks! #miweather #gaylord
