Gaylord, a ski town in Northern Michigan, set a new record for its largest single-day snowfall with 24.8 inches on November 29, 2024, surpassing the previous record of 17 inches from 1942. This significant snowfall, part of a lake-effect snow event, benefits local ski resorts like Treetops and Otsego, as well as the Michigan Snowmobile Festival, which relies on early-season snow. The heavy snowfall is timely, coinciding with the opening of state-designated snowmobile trails on December 1.
