If you're reading this from anywhere in the United States right now, there's a pretty good chance it's cold outside. We're in the middle of a massive freeze that could last until March , the breadth of which NASA's Terra satellite just captured in the remarkable view you see above. See all that territory blanketed in white? That's snow. It's not cloud patterns, or a representation of wind currents, just a bunch of frozen water atop even colder ground.

NASA supplemented the photo with some harrowing, record-breaking numbers:



  • 1ºF in Baltimore, MD

  • -6ºF in Louisville, KY

  • 7ºF in Charlotte, NC

  • 4ºF in Asheville, NC

  • 18ºF in Macon, GA

  • 14ºF in Athens, GA


So if you live anywhere north of, say, Houston, be sure to bundle up before you head outside this weekend.
