2/13: Snowfall across US

Undertoad · 02-13-2002, 03:13 PM

This was an earth picture of the day a few days back, documenting the snowfall across the us. The white band in the middle there isn't clouds - it's a huge load of snow. The darker areas in Iowa and sothern Minnesota are river valleys. The dark spots in Kansas are reservoirs.

Why does it appear that none fell in the Rockies? Is that snow or a fog bank?

Oh, we got some snow last week. I live in a little oddity of geography which means we get far less snow than the rest of the Colorado Front Range, but last Saturday Cheyenne Wyoming (in the lower right-corner of Wyoming) got about 4 inches, and the rest of Colorado I believe got some good snow, too.

So I think it's just a fogbank.

Is this a straight photo? (What I would see peering out the ISS.) Or is it some sort of enhanced data-representation using weird remote sensing?

Cheyenne is boring? I take issue with that! My entire family is from Cheyenne and there's so much to do there. Like ... uhh. That one thing. With the rodeos and ... that ...

Yeah, okay, it's boring.
