That’s a lot of snow.
If you’re one of the unlucky people that planned on travelling to the East Coast of the USA then you’ll know that the entire region from Georgia to New York has been covered in a thick blanket of snow as the region is in the grips of a blizzard. It’s predicted to be a historic snowstorm with 20 to 30 inches of snow or more falling across parts of the East Coast.
While people that love the snow must feel like they’re in paradise, coastal flooding and crippling travel disruptions are widely expected.
Astronaut Scott Kelly, currently aboard the International Space Station, tweeted three images of the storm in its various stages from his window this morning.
Here’s an idea of its impact and reach.
