Image of the High Plains and Rocky Mountains
The back edge of the clouds associated
with the large storm system moving up through the Plains can be seen
stretching from south central
Colorado to north central Nebraska. The Nebraska Panhandle is snow
covered.
The forested area of the Black
Hills region of South Dakota is darker in color. The Rocky mountains
stand out as
well in central Colorado with
their snow-capped peaks. Western Colorado is snow free except for
the
snow covered mountain peaks................................

Lake McConaughy can be see as
a dark water body surrounded by a snow cover in western nebraska.
The city of Denver, with its
plowed and bare streets (note photo below) appears as a gray area on this
image
due to less snow coverage compared
to the rural areas.
