Ironwood, Michigan – Video filmed by X user Green Bay Gobbler shows heavy lake-effect snow pounding the city, with deep accumulation on the ground and snowfall still ongoing as a severe weather event hits the Upper Peninsula.

Ironwood has recorded 58.1 inches of snow in November 2025, closing in on the 78.2-inch record set in 1989, marking an unusually intense start to winter.

Cold air sweeping over Lake Superior is driving narrow, powerful snow bands that can create dangerous travel and potential whiteouts.

The video’s snow-covered streets match forecasts calling for up to 8 inches in the Ironwood area, adding to already challenging conditions.

Similar early-season snowfall is impacting the Great Lakes region, with nearby areas such as Marquette and Alger County expecting up to a foot.
