Everybody knows that it's cold as hell in the Midwest right now, but satellite images of the tundra are
still a sight to behold. It's amazing to see it like this, with any sign of civilization covered in snow.
NOAA's GOES-East satellite captured a Midwestern wintertime "White Out" at 2015 UTC/3:15 p.m. EST
on January 6, 2014.
Blowing snow and intensely cold air created dangerous white-out conditions over the Midwest, particularly
around the Great Lakes, where daytime temperatures averaged -20F with a wind chill near -50F.
The GOES-East satellite is managed by NOAA. The image was created at NASA's GOES Project at NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.
This is a pic of Lake Michigan (in Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago). Looks like a different planet !!!
This is Lake Michigan from the shore of Illinois Beach State Park.
