      Winter-like weather dropped snow across much of the Alps in early   
      November 2022, quickening the pulses of ski enthusiasts who look   
      forward to flocking to high-altitude resorts. By November 4, ski   
      resorts in Austria, Switzerland, and Italy were open while one resort   
      in France was anticipating opening its slopes by November 19.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the glistening   
      white-capped Alps of Austria (east) and Italy (west) on November 7. On   
      October 30, only a dusting of snow sat atop the highest peaks of the   
      Alps, but storm clouds moved in and left a heavy blanket of white by   
      November 6. The gleaming autumn snow contrasts with the deep greens of   
      Alpine forests and the light green of the agriculturally rich Po Valley   
      of Italy.   
      
      This snowfall follows a warm and dry start to autumn, and, according to   
      an article published online by Weathertoski, this is not a   
      season-defining storm. The article states, “…with 10 to 30cm of   
      sometimes quite windblown snow falling quite widely above 2500m, and a   
      dusting to as low as 1200m in the northern Alps, it is certainly a sign   
      that winter proper is not far away.”
