      After several winter storms swept across the country in January 2023,   
      snow blanketed most of the continental United States by January 26. The   
      the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board   
      NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired a sweeping false color image of the   
      scene on that same day.   
      
      In this type of image, both infrared and visible light (bands 7,2,1)   
      are combined to help differentiate snow from cloud. Snow shows up as   
      bright blue, while most clouds appear white. Cold clouds that contain   
      ice may also be tinted with a touch of bright blue. Vegetation looks   
      electric green, water deep blue, and unvegetated land appears tan or   
      brown.   
      
      In this image, snow reaches as far south as Arizona, New Mexico, and   
      Texas west of the Mississippi River. Every state east of the   
      Mississippi also wears at least a partial cover of either snow or   
      cloud.   
      
      The most recent storm travelled across the Southwest, the Southern   
      Plains, the Midwest, and the Northeast United States from January   
      23-26. Reports from Arizona measured more than a foot of snow in the   
      high elevations in the north and center of that state. By January 25, a   
      substantial dump of heavy, wet snow accompanied by winds gusting to 20   
      mph (32 km/h) caused widespread power outages. In south and central   
      Missouri, more than 75,000 lost power. That region also accumulated up   
      to 8 inches of fresh show.
