These satellite images show almost the entire US covered in snow

Satellite images from NASA/NOAA satellites provided by Maxar show how the massive winter storm has blanketed the United States with ice and snow.

On Tuesday, 73% of the country was coated in snow, according to the Weather Channel. And the cold weather continued on Wednesday as CNN reported that frigid weather struck the south and central parts of the country that have been most impacted by brutally cold conditions.

As of Thursday, Maxar's WeatherDesk provided imagery showing three-quarters of the country covered in snow:



Residents across the country, especially in the South, have endured freezing weather and power outages. As of Wednesday afternoon, nearly 3 million people in Texas are still without power, according to PowerOutage.us. Oregon, Kentucky, Louisiana, and West Virginia are other states highly affected by the outages.

up here in the part of northern VA that is NOT the DC area. We have some snow, lots of sleet and ice over a lot of that. The ground is definitely white and you cannot see the grass or the driveway.

Due to reflection.

Even with global warming, of which this storm is a result, climate vs weather.

it doesn't last long. We have power. We have heat. We have potable water. But then we also
have strong state and local Democratic governments.
