Wow! I told you guys it was going to be a large lake affect blizzard in the good old snow belt of Gaylord and the surrounding area but even I did not realize this one. Happy sledding everyone.
We are getting, have been getting,and will continue to get hammered with snow tonight! The Gaylord area will end up with 13 to 18 inches of new snow from today and tonight! Trail 7 at the camera was groomed at 2:30 pm today and am sure it will continue to be groomed. It’s a great time to come up! Cold though! 5 degrees currently, with a wind chill of about -20.
Hi Sherry! I think the wind did it for us already! It’s blowing super hard right now! (Isn’t it a great problem to have… To have to clean off the snow from the camera!)
We are from Gaylord but winter in Tucson. Just talked to my son who is still in Gaylord and he said they are going to get slammed with lake effect very soon. SO if you are an outdoor person, get to it. He has ridden his sled all over the area already and said there are meny in the Gaylord doing so.
Hi. The camera has an infrared setting at night. I think it is just the way the house lights in the distance show up with infrared. Thanks for checking in!
You can ride this Trail, it just might be thin in areas. Riding on the edges might be the best bet. We will get some flurries on Wednesday and then more snow Thursday and later.
Yes and no. There is enough snow to ride, but at Cheboygan, there is a detour for part of the trail on to a road due to a bridge bring deemed unsafe for this winter.
I think the melting is done. And we do still have snow it is just hard to go on the roads in between Trails if that is needed. The trails will have enough snow to at least ride albeit pretty thin.
Seeing as how one can arrive at any destination more comfortably in a car, does it serve any purpose for snow machines to zoom by at 50 MPH, thus rendering it impossible to lift their eyes off of the narrow confines of the snow and trail unless endangering themselves and rendering impossible any enjoyment of nature and scenery except out of the corner of the eye?
Why would you even post a question like that? If you enjoy car rides, then do that and enjoy it. But most if not all people on this site enjoy the great outdoors during winter behind the handlebars of a snowmobile. A lot of people travel hours to enjoy this sport, my family and friends are some. I can only imagine you have never had the great experience of riding down a trail and enjoying that experience on a snowmobile, so please borrow, rent, or buy and try it. You just might enjoy the adventure.

Hi Steve. Thanks for posting. I guess everyone has their different interests in life! That’s what makes humans amazing! We all are different!
