What does the massive blizzard in the Northeast look like from space?

The Northeastern U.S. is once again getting pummeled by a winter storm, and it’s so big you can see it from space. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released photos of the storm captured by its GOES-19 weather satellite.

An image from 7:40 a.m. EST shows the storm ramping up as the sun rises on the Eastern Seaboard. Another taken at 10:31 a.m. EST shows the storm forming cloud shapes that look like a comma, typical of infamous nor’easter storms.

On the ground in the Northeast, NOAA reported as of midday Monday snowfall rates of 2 to 3 inches per hour and winds from 40 to 70 mph. More than 9,000 flights were canceled and more than 600,000 homes had lost power.
