| First snowfall of the season in the East |
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite took these images of snowfall in Maryland on December 7, 2003.
The top, true-color image shows most of the state covered from the weekend's first storms of the season. The bottom scene combines the satellite sensor's observations in the infrared and near-infrared parts of the electromagnetic spectrum with observations in the visible (the part our eyes can see) to better separate clouds from snow. Snow appears red, snow-free ground appears green, clouds appear peach/white, and water is black. Credit: NASA/MODIS Land Rapid Response Team
