East Coast Blizzard Seen From Space
Image centered on Washington D.C.
21 Dec 09 - The snowstorm that blanketed the East Coast this weekend was so big, it is even impressive from space. NASA’s Aqua satellite took this image centered on Washington, D.C., on Sunday with its MODIS instrument.
The image covers 300 miles lengthwise. The two big rivers near the
center are the Susquehanna (to the north) and Potomac rivers, which run
into Chesapeake Bay. Washington, D.C., sits alongside the Potomac, just
north of the river’s hook-shaped curve. The inlet to the north is
Delaware Bay.
