NASA Snaps Picture of Eastern U.S. in a Record-Breaking "Freezer"
NASA ^ | February 20, 2015 | NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team

Posted on 02/23/2015 1:42:53 PM PST by WhiskeyX

NASA's Terra satellite captured an image of the snow-covered eastern U.S. that looks like the states have been sitting in a freezer. In addition to the snow cover, Arctic and Siberian air masses have settled in over the Eastern U.S. triggering many record low temperatures in many states.

On Feb. 19 at 16:40 UTC (11:40 a.m. EST), the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument that flies aboard NASA's Terra satellite captured a picture of the snowy landscape. The snow cover combined with the frosty air mass made the eastern U.S. feel like the inside of freezer. The MODIS image was created at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

On the morning of Feb. 20, NOAA's Weather Prediction Center (WPC) noted, "There were widespread subzero overnight lows Thursday night (Feb. 19) extending from Illinois to western Virginia, and numerous record lows were set. Bitterly-cold arctic air is setting numerous temperature records across the eastern U.S. and will keep temperatures well below normal on Friday (Feb. 20)."

And they will soon spin it into “because of global warming / Americans driving gasoline cars”.

Strangely enough, parts of western Canada have been experiencing unseasonably warm temps.

Had great sled riding with the grandkids this weekend, but I’m ready for spring in a week or two.

According to aerial video I saw today, Lake Erie is estimated at 98% frozen.
There were ice fishing tents all over the place.

I spent my whole childhood swimming in it.
And living downwind from the big Std Oil refinery and Republic and US Steel mills.
Hard to believe it hasn’t killed me yet, LOL

Realizing God has better things to do, I still have to wonder in the back of my mind if this is not a little Devine intervention just to poke the lefties in the eye.

Must admit, it makes a whole lot of global warming people look just that much more stupid.

That’s not Lake Erie...that’s Lake Ontario that isn’t frozen.
And it wasn’t Lake Erie that was on fire...it was the Cuyahoga River.

Algore is laughing at your joke — he made his millions by cheating us and got away with it.

It's colder than that here in Boise right now.
