East Coast Snow Cover
December 21, 2009 | Earth Observatory

“NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this view of the Chesapeake Bay region as the clouds were clearing on December 20.

The Mid-Atlantic states were completely white in the wake of a record-breaking snow storm. The storm deposited between 12 and 30 inches of snow in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. on December 19. Snowfall totals broke records in many locations.” Quoted from Earth Observatory.
