      A light dusting of snow colored the Northeastern United States and   
      Southeastern Canada in early January 2023.   
      
      The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the region on   
      January 11. The New England state of Maine covers most of the lower   
      section of the image. The Maritimes provinces of Canada—New Brunswick,   
      Nova Scotia, and Prince Edwards Island—sit north and east of Maine,   
      while the province of Quebec sits in the upper left. Snow appears most   
      abundant along the St. Lawrence River, especially near the city of   
      Montreal and most sparse along the Atlantic coastal region and in the   
      south.   
      
      According to local news reporting, Maine is suffering a snow drought   
      this winter, with only significant snow in the far west and north of   
      the state. The typical snowfall by January 12 in Caribou is usually   
      46.5 inches, Bangor is 26.3 inches, and Portland usually has seen 23.7   
      inches. However, snowfall this winter registers at 38.4 inches in   
      Caribou, Bangor at 13.2 inches, and Portland, which sits near the   
      coast, only near 7 inches. A winter storm moved in on January 13,   
      promising to bring additional and much-needed snow to the region,   
      although warming temperatures over the weekend may turn the   
      precipitation to rain near the coast and in southern Maine.
