The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on January 15 as it passed over the region.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: A cold snap which kept temperatures near freezing for several days in mid-January, 2015 also brought snow to the Texas panhandle. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on January 15 as it passed over the region. The wintery landscape of northern Texas appears generally tan in color, due to the lack of green, growing grasses. Streaks of snow, which fell on January 13-15, can be seen across the landscape. The largest swath of snow begins near Elk City, Oklahoma and ends over a hundred miles to the southwest, near Plainview, Texas. Smaller snowy streaks can be seen in the northwest panhandle of Texas. A larger area of fresh snowfall lies on the border between Texas and New Mexico.
