Gaylord Area Trail Report – 02/26
Gaylord Bureau – February 25, 2022 The weather has been very erratic over the past week! Our Michigan Snowmobile Festival was cancelled due to freezing rain earlier this week, however, we woke up to about 4-5 inches of fresh snow on Friday. Trails are in much better condition and are rated in fair condition, but may be icy in places. Keep THINKING SNOW! As always, check back with us for updates and weather reports. http://www.gaylordmichigan.net/snowmobile-trail-report-114/ <> It’s 20 degrees and a sunny morning in downtown Frederic, the snow from yesterday held out pretty darn good from yesterday and I imagine it will make it thru today. Past that who knows. There were a good amount of sleds out and about around Frederic yesterday, certainly way more than there has been. My thoughts for the next week of winter, (if thats what you call it) is that unless a surprise storm hits us that it will be toast around here. Things are still nice and white around this morning as I looked at trail crossings on the way here. I had a call from Eric in Pennsylvania who wants to come to the u.p. to ride next week, they have had a rough winter there too and he said western new york never opened their trails till Jan 20 and closed them down on Feb 15. He is anxious to come to michigan and try the u.p.out. So many regulars that normally come in for the winter that I havent seen this season. Where the heck is Ohio Brian. ? The Obama tour was a no show this season too. Hard of Hearing MIke and the snow bunny havent been around in years, Illinois Mike and sadly Ohio Mike the chosen one passed away this past fall. Bad Leg Barry likes hanging out in Florida but at least Jr. does still come north. Bruce and the Forever Young family havent made it in either. All these people part of the Sledheads family of riders just sitting on the sidelines wishing for a real winter. The list could go on and on. Yesterday Spud & Darren from Ottowa Ohio stopped in and loaded up on new Sledheads shirts so thanks for the business guys. Pics below are Spud & Darren from yesterday and the nice deep snow trench is from Dave Klemish who was lucky enough to be in Marquette during the 21 inch overnight snow fall. 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 <> <>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
