Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 03/24
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 03/24 Well a little surprise this morning in Grayling with a few inches of wet and heavy snow on the bottom and a little lake effect on the top. There is still ice on Lake Margrethe but there are places where the ice is opening up. I am still at home this morning so I havent actually drove in this snow. It looks nice out there and I would bet someone will ride in this but it will be right down to the dirt. Its supposed to go to about 35 today. Still 7 more days of this sled season. Took the 2 pics below out my front door. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> FREDERIC AREA SPRING RIDING via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> I put this video together from my ride today unfortunately it’s not in the right order because I’m not real sure how to do that shows where I was stuck and getting pulled out then I skipped the water hole after I had my power setting raised on my sled as I was riding, I came into it unexpectedly, not knowing there was that much water there And just didn’t have enough power to get through it.. <> <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic on Facebook >>>> <> GAYLORD AREA WEATHER UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> #miweather #gaylordFrom Janeen Wardie in Gaylord.

Do not go outside unless you're in the open. The risk of loss of life from falling trees is high.
