Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 12/20
No new snow, the temps have cooled down and firmed things up. I made a big loop towards Kalkaska this morning and north of Frederic, every trail crossing I saw and trail I looked at I rate at poor. We just plain need snow. Hopefully santa will help us out and get us some snow by Christmas. The weather man says we are supposed to get some snow so that is good. Yesterday it got close to 40 so now there is grass and dirt showing in spots.. All we can do is wait and do some snow chanting. MO MO NAH CHEE NAH screamed outside at the top of your lungs helps a lot. The 4 million mark came and went on sunday well I was gone. Byron Brinley was first one in at 4,004,235 followed by Dave Klemish who came in at 4,007,773. So I am waiting to hear back from Byron and get him set up on his goodies. I got in a whole new batch of Sledheads shirts yesterday so I am well stocked up in case we ever do get snow. The new WTF Welcome to Frederic is one shirt and the All Trails Lead to Frederic has the trail map on the back. Also 2 different sledheads with Small Time Town, Big Time Fun and also The snow may melt away but the memories will last Forever……Pictures below and think Snow. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic Website >>>> <> UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic , Michigan Snowmobiling >> One week to go until the trails open…..fat chance of there being any snow , so my best guess is the wait will be on. To bad we dont have the problem they have in South Dakota where they have snow but trails dont open till the 15th of December. The best day of riding that I had last year was on November 28 when Big John and I got in a nice 60 mile ride after a nice dumping of snow that morning. Everyone always asks me what I think the season is going to be like and my standard answer is I will tell you in April. I need to get some time in at Sledheads and get the front room ready for the season as I tend to let it get a little messy during the summer when I am not open. I put the winter signage back up last week on a nice 60 degree day. I picked up trail permits this week too but I am not putting one on my sled till we have rideable snow. I did see both Kalkaska and Grayling groomers out doing trail maintenance in the past month or so. Thats about it for now. Thanks for checking in. Pete #gaylord #grayling frederic-mi.com WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm. This system appears to be more straightforward than the previous one. Be careful and leave extra time for traveling as we are all trying to get used to driving in the snow again. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #straitsarea #soo #newberryA clipper system will bring our first decent shot at accumulating snowfall for the eastern UP, where 3 to 6 inches…or even a little more in a few localized spots…could fall by Tuesday morning…with the worst conditions expected between 5 and 10pm.

I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average.

The first polar front will sweep through the Midwest on Thanksgiving day bringing temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average. Lows below zero are expected for some across the north and in the single digits down to I80. Highs this weekend will only be in the single digits and teens for areas down to I80. Dangerous wind chills of -20 degrees or colder are increasingly likely, especially north of I90. The graphic below shows the temperatures on Sunday morning.
Another polar front will move through next week bringing even colder temperatures. Expect reinforcing shots of very cold air over the next couple of weeks. #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~

Before anyone gets on the "SEE CLIMATE CHANGE IS FAKE" train... one of these below average maps DOES NOT negate the other 500 above average ones. Trends, folks. Trends. Nothing is a straight line. The warming temperature trend line is full of peaks and valleys with an overall increasing trend. 🙂 #miweather #keweenaw #westernup #marquette #munising #seney #newberry #soo #straitsarea #petoskey #gaylord #cadillac #traversecityI need to post this image again because WOW.

After Thanksgiving, a large portion of the U.S. will likely see below normal temperatures into early December. And of course, there's southern Florida. 🌞
