Here is a recent visible satellite image (Saturday, 25 January) of the SE US. The whiteish areas along the coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas is snow still on the ground since the recent snowstorm.
If you look closely, the snow extends southwestward across south-central Georgia and into the Florida panhandle. The areas over the land are cloud-free, which provides a clear shot of the snow. The clouds over the Atlantic Ocean are mostly stratocumulus, which forms when super cold air flows over the warm ocean along and just east of the Gulf Stream (Sargasso Sea).A closer view of the snow cover on the ground.

Canon NFD 24mm f/2.8 lens. I should have used a yellow or orange filter.My 1978 Canon F-1 loaded and ready to go on a photo walk.Canon NFD 24mm f/2.8 lens.I got better results using the meter in the F-1 when using a 1.35v Wein Cell.Canon NFD 24mm f/2.8 lens. A slightly better exposure.The World-famous Palace Saloon, Fernandina Beach Historic District.
Processing and scans were done by The Darkroom at medium resolution. The images below I used a 625A 1.5v battery which, on average made the camera’s meter two stops off.
Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 SSC lens. In the tight confines of the historic district, a 50mm lens isn’t my favorite lens to shoot with. I’m a wide-angle lens guy.OK exposure but, I’m not happy with it.Missed it by a country mile!Canon OD F-1 with a Canon FD 50mm f/1.4 SSC lens (my original lens from 1978).

Contax RX Contax Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 Lens. Fujifilm Neopan Professional Acros 100II Film. Straight scans from The Darkroom – no editing. I couldn’t be happier with the results.
