Cool blizzard photo
I know it was 38 months ago. But I've just stumbled across a terrific satellite image of the Northeast snapped right after the skies cleared in the wake of the historic, four-day February 2003 snowstorm. It was the biggest snowfall on record at BWI. Here's how the aftermath looked from orbit, on Feb. 20, 2003, as we dug out.
Rest your cursor over the image and the zoom box will appear in the lower right-hand corner. Click it for more detail. I love the sweep of the Appalachian valleys to our north and west - evidence of the collision of North America and Africa that created the mountain chain eons ago. And look at the ice in Lake Erie. There was almost none this past winter.
