Snowstorm from Space: Satellite Image of the Blizzard

On Monday, Dec. 27 at 12:31 p.m. ET, the GOES-13 satellite captured this visible image of the powerful low pressure system that brought a blizzard to the Northeast and snow from Georgia to Maine. Some of the snowfall can be seen over South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and southeastern New York. The clouds of the low pressure system obscure New England in the image. Credit: NOAA/NASA GOES Project

1. Wow! I am glad that stayed so far off shore.

Can you imagine the mess if it were just a few hundred miles to the west? Yikes!

4. Me too. It felt like the storm's center was right over my house.

There is five feet of snow on the front porch. I was trapped until today when someone finally came to dig me out.

6. Dude, I know that was a bad storm.. but

That looks pretty cool.. BTW If it snow that that here, I think it would kill at least 10,000 people.

7. It has been quite an experience.

I have been lucky that no utilities were lost, I was warm and had food in the house.

Luckily, it is very, very unlikely that a snowstorm like this would hit your part of the country..but you do have all that rain to deal with.

5. I guess hurricane season isn't, in fact, over until the end of December.

It just moved north.
