How hard did it snow in recent days?
Hard enough to see from space.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured the natural-color image (above) on Sunday after skies had largely cleared over the region.
Snow and mountain peaks create a mottled appearance in western Colorado. Elsewhere, the snow cover forms a wide, uneven track over parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas.
The storm set a record for the heaviest storm snowfall for February, depositing 15.9 inches in Denver, and 22.7 inches in Boulder.
