THIS WEEK’S SNOW REPORT:

WOW what a week of snowmobiling in Waters/Gaylord.!!

And we have snow falling again this morning!

Here is the latest from the National weather service regarding our snowfall this season…

Gaylord, MI – One northern Michigan city set a record for total December snowfall.
Gaylord had 60′ of snow during December 2016. December 2016 tops the previous December snowfall record of 57.1′ in 2008.

The top five snowiest Decembers in Gaylord are:
60.1′ – 2016
57.1′ – 2008
56.0′ – 1985
54.4′ – 2013
54.0′ – 1983

And now the onslaught of heavy snow is continuing in January 2017. So far in the first five days of January, downtown Gaylord has recorded another 9.5′ of snow.

Just south of Gaylord it’s an even snowier story. The National Weather Service office is nine miles south of downtown Gaylord. The National Weather Service measured 79.8′ of snow at their office in December, and has already totaled 21.8′ in January 2017. The National Weather Service office location is higher in elevation than downtown Gaylord, and is in a more favored lake effect area. Both of these attributes add up to more snow at the NWS office compared to downtown Gaylord.

The NWS office south of Gaylord has tallied 101′ of snow this season.

That is GREAT news for us!!
We rode today for about 70 miles, 65 on trails to the South then West and North and 5 miles Boon-docking on private property (with permission, of course). Conditions were great South to the Keg and the Frederic Inn then West to Mancelona and to the North to DerMiners store.

We passed the groomer on the trail 3 times yesterday!! Trails were in great condition.

THIS WEEK:
Expecting 3-5′ tonight, 3-5′ Tuesday, Wednesday chance of snow/ice, Thursday 1-2’…all should be good for the trails.

Ride safe and Sober
