Virginia Snow Visible From Space

The snow still blanketing much of the Commonwealth Tuesday morning is visible from space. We have clear skies across the region, which is allowing an unobstructed view to the surface from space of the snow-covered ground. Below is a snapshot from this morning taken at 8:45 a.m., from the government aviation weather page. The dark grey in the image is ground that is not snow-covered, whereas the white you see on land is snowfall from the March 1-2, 2009 snowstorm from the Deep South through the Northeast. The white you see off-shore in the Atlantic is cloud cover from the exiting storm.
