Southeast Coast Snowfall from Space

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

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.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

Altocumulus Clouds… super cool!

Altocumulus (Ac) clouds progressively invading the sky. Real meteorological definition. Not often seen this dramatically in Florida. The late winter sun was at just the right angle which made for some interesting lighting. Typically these clouds would be about 6,000 feet above the ground this time of year and they are found in what is called the middle etage (Mid 5) of the atmosphere. There were no cirrus clouds above which added to the drama of the lighting.

Now a bit of fun with the clouds…
