      On December 27, 2022, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer   
      (MODIS) on board NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of   
      South Korea decorated with a blanket of snow.   
      
      According to local media, a snowstorm on Christmas weekend (December   
      23-25) brought heavy snow and frigid temperatures to much of southern   
      South Korea. Temperatures plunged on Christmas day, when a low of -9˚C   
      (15.8˚F) and a high of 0˚C (32˚F) was reported. The heavy snow caused   
      roads closures, froze water pipes, and damaged buildings—especially   
      greenhouses—in the southern farming regions. Some area in the   
      southwestern province of North Jeolla accumulated more than 60   
      centimeters (23.6 inches), while 92.3 centimeters (36 inches) fell on   
      Jeju Island on December 24. Jeju Island is located south of the Korean   
      Peninsula and is not visible in this image.
