the mid-atlantic states were completely white on sunday, december 20, 2009, in the wake of a record-breaking snow storm.

the storm deposited between 12 and 30 inches of snow in virginia, maryland, and washington, d.c. on december 19, according to the national weather service.

for many locations, the snowfall totals broke records for the most snow to fall in a single december day.. the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (modis) on nasas aqua satellite captured this view of the chesapeake bay region as the clouds were clearing on december 20. the snow highlights the courses of the potomac and susquehanna rivers from the appalachian mountains to the chesapeake bay.

@Simon: I KNOW, right?

p.s. That was a wonderfully innocuous comment. Could go either way. I'm tempted to search the forum to see where you stand but I'm too lazy.

Yep, back 120 years ago, when scientist first predicted anthropogenic global warming, they told us "why, in the year 2010, it won't even be cold in the American NE in winter anymore, by gawsh".

Isn't that exactly what people like Al Gore and his movie ARE saying? That the Earth's sea level will rise 20ft with the melting of Greenland? Unless of course, we are still talking about climate change in geologic timeframes...

@hamilcarr: You are exactly right. 30 years of satellite data, 160+ years of directly observable temperature data, 2000 years of proxy data, are all just a speck of sand in the history of the Earth (4.54 billion years). We have NO clue and it's just plain hubris to think that we do.

The Mid-Atlantic states were completely white on Sunday, December 20, 2009, in the wake of a record-breaking snow storm. The storm deposited between 12 and 30 inches of snow in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C. on December 19, according to the National Weather Service. For many locations, the snowfall totals broke records for the most snow to fall in a single December day.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this view of the Chesapeake Bay region as the clouds were clearing on December 20. The snow highlights the courses of the Potomac and Susquehanna Rivers from the Appalachian Mountains to the Chesapeake Bay. The ridges and valleys of the Appalachian Mountains are similarly highlighted. The forested peaks are darker than the snow-covered valleys.

The massive snow storm was a Nor’easter, a powerful storm characterized by a strong low-pressure center that forms in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean and moves northward up the Eastern seaboard. In the Northern Hemisphere, winds flow in toward the center of a low-pressure area in a counter-clockwise spiral, which means that as the storm heads north, the leading winds come in off the ocean from the northeast.
