Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Nicknamed “snowpocalypse” and “snowmageddon,” an exceptionally severe winter storm dropped several feet of snow around the Washington, D.C., area in early February 2010. Crashed and abandoned cars littered roads as airlines canceled hundreds of flights. Even the DC Metro train system stopped functioning in places.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on February 7, 2010, showing part of the region affected by heavy snowfall. Snow blankets the area hundreds of kilometers inland from the Atlantic coastline. Along the latitude of New York City, however, snow cover thins considerably.
Deutsch: Unter dem Spitznamen “snowpocalypse” and “snowmageddon” bekannt, lud Anfang Februar 2010 ein außergewöhnlich schwerer Wintersturm mehrere Dutzend Zentimeter Schnee in Washington, D.C. und der umliegenden Region ab. Nach Unfällen wurden viele Fahrzeuge von ihren Fahrern zurückgelassen und Fluggesellschaften mußten hunderte von Flügen streichen. Auch die oberirdisch verlaufenden Strecken der U-Bahn von Washington, D.C. mußten teilweise eingestellt werden. In der geographischen Breite von New York City ist die Schneedecke jedoch nur dünn.
Der Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) auf dem Terra-Satelliten der NASA zeigt in einer Echtfarbenaufnahme vom 7. February 2010 einen Teil der von diesen schweren Schneefällen betroffenen Region. Schnee bedeckt das Gebiet auf einer Fläche, die von der Atlantikküste hunderte von Kilometern ins Landesinnere reicht. |
