Frederic / Gaylord Area Trail Report – Sledheads of Frederic – 02/14
FREDERIC / GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Sledheads of Frederic – 2/14 A lost cause of a winter, at least for all of us trolls below the Mackinaw Bridge. The u.p. has been rolling this season but all around us it has been horrible. LIke I said a couple weeks ago my first year open in Frederic I closed and went to the u.p. riding as it was all solid dirt around Frederic and not a flake of snow anywhere, that was in 96 or 97. At least the ground was white this year but just poor conditions. There were some sleds out and about on friday and saturday but still slim and good slide and carbide wearing out conditions. Will we get one storm this season yet or not? I cant believe the amount of snow downstate, Kzoo looks like Grayling and Frederic should look. The whole winter thing is backwards this year. Blah, Blah, Blah………So lets see what happens this week. Happy Valentines Day to all. Thanks for checking in. Pete <> <> Visit Sledheads of Frederic on Facebook >>>> <> GAYLORD AREA UPDATE via Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> Snow in Gaylord this morning from my dad, Ken! #snowphotos #gaylord WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> A lot of good snowfall totals in the comments of this post. Looks like the Sault Ste. Marie area did the best with around 6 to 8 inches and 7 to 8 inches in the Newberry Area. A couple of inches in the Gaylord area. And then just rain and snow mixes elsewhere in Northern Lower Michigan with negligible accumulations. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskey #soo #straitsarea #newberryIf you got snow last night, we'd love for you to tell us how much you got! Please include a rough time of when your measurement was taken, how long the snow was falling, your locations, and if possible, a picture of a ruler in the snow. WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> Accumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening. Snow will continue into Tuesday with high uncertainty on where the heaviest lake effect snow could set up– Stay tuned for forecast updates and use caution while traveling! #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #traversecity #petoskeyAccumulating snow is expected to continue into tonight with the highest snowfall rates/ worst travel conditions expected most likely between 6pm and 11pm this evening.

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.

WEATHER UPDATE via US National Weather Service Gaylord Michigan >> 8:40 AM ET radar update: Widespread stratiform rain near central MI and in the lower elevations, with a wintery mix over the hills of northern lower, and snow near the tip of the mitt, eastern upper, and in the highest elevations. Precipitation will continue through the day and should remain light. Heavier precipitation will likely be this evening and tonight over areas north of M-55. Take the morning commute slow, and stay tuned for more forecast details. #miweather #gaylord #cadillac #benzie #traversecity #petoskey WEATHER UPDATE via Midwest Weather >> ~First Polar Front Thanksgiving~ FROM Meteorologist Brad Sugden >> I need to post this image again because WOW. I can't recall the last time nearly all of the United States was forecast to be below average. FROM U.S. National Weather Service (NWS) >> Turning our attention to the end of the month🥶 FROM 9&10 News >> The snow is flying in Gaylord tonight! #snowphotos #gaylord 4K sleds already there. <> Latest Trail Reports – Quick Links <>Postings From Regional Pages On Facebook
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. 🌞
