English: Snow covered the mountains of the southwestern United States in mid-February 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image on February 14. The image is roughly centered on the Bitterroot Range in Idaho, with a total of eleven western states and two Canadian provinces lying under the blanket of white. From the northwest, the states include Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. The provinces included are British Columbia and Saskatchewan. The snow also sweeps across the Great Plains, in the east.
