- Reason
- This is a satellite video loop from the North American region for an approximately 72-hour period beginning 31 January and ending 2 February, during which time a rather sizable portion of the United States and parts of Canada and Mexico experienced one of the worst Winter Storms/Blizzard in history. This was one of only 16 storms to have earned a Category 5 rating on the Regional Snowfall Index. This image comes to us courtesy of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the parent organization of the US National Weather Service, which operates a number of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GEOS) - include the GOES 13 bird which captured this specific footage - in conjunction with NASA.
