This Envisat image captures one of serial snowstorms that hit the United States during January 2011. Midwest and Northeast regions are covered by a white layer of snow and ice. Also visible are three of the five Great Lakes. Cloud streets are visible over Lakes Huron (left) and Ontario (right), while Erie (bottom) is partially ice-covered. This image was acquired by Envisat’s Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) on 31 January 2011 at a resolution of 300 m.

An unusual snowstorm has blanketed parts of Turkey and Greece, causing power cuts and chaos on the roads and flight cancellations. Two images from Copernicus Sentinel-2 show Athens before and after the snowstorm.

As this Copernicus Sentinel-3 image captured today shows, the Netherlands remains pretty much snow-covered thanks to days of sub-zero temperatures following the country’s first major snowstorm in a decade.
