Description
English: Winter weather had arrived in central Asia by the opening days of December 2015, as evidenced by this snowy true-color image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Aqua satellite on December 3. A broad expanse of white stretches from western Mongolia, across northern China and the Bohai Sea to reach the Korean Peninsula. Snow started falling across the region in mid-November. According to Central Asia News Net, the Xilingol grasslands, which sit in China�s Inner Mongolia region, has seen six wide-ranging snowfalls since November, with more than 90 percent of the area snow-covered as of December 11.
