      Wild winds and spots of heavy snow marked the first nor’easter of the   
      winter season in mid-March 2023. From March 13-15, some high elevations   
      in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire saw 36 inches   
      (76.2 cm) of fresh snow with a few spots registering 40 inches (101.6   
      cm). Meanwhile, the storm brought wind gusts up to 60 mph (96.5 km/h),   
      downing powerlines and creating widespread power outages.   
      
      The chill didn’t last long, however. By March 17, most of New England   
      was enjoying temperatures over 50˚F (12.8˚C). The warm-up, combined   
      with showers scattered across the region, encouraged melting of the new   
      snow, especially in lower elevations.   
      
      On March 16, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)   
      on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a false-color image of the   
      Northeastern United States and Southeastern Canada. In this type of   
      image, which uses MODIS bands 7,2,1, vegetation appears green, snow   
      looks electric blue, water looks deep blue, open land is tan, and   
      clouds can be white or—if they are cold, containing ice crystals—can be   
      tinted electric blue.   
      
      In this image, much of Canada lies under cloud cover, parts of which   
      stretch into the United States. Snow can be seen covering the ground   
      from the highest elevations of Pennsylvania’s Appalachian Mountains and   
      beyond the northernmost tip of Maine. In most areas, the snow does not   
      appear to be very thick, as it is tinted with the green of underlying   
      vegetation. Coastal regions, such as the hook-shaped Cape Cod,   
      Massachusetts, and southern states are snow-free.
