East Coast Blizzard seen from space?!
The snowstorm that was so big, was even seen from space. That enourmous blizzard shut down the federal government, travelers, left many people 
without electricity, and more.
without electricity, and more. They took this picture from Washing D.C. on with their MODIS instrument. (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) They say the storm was a Nor'easter, which is a powerful storm by a strong low-pressure that forms in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean and it moves up north in the east. I thought this was very interesting and it caught my eye because I didn't know the storm was that strong that you could see it from space! I learned what a Nor'easter was. When I was first reading that article and I saw that word, I was like what the heck is that? But then I read about it and it was very interesting.
