Greenbelt, MD – A late October snowstorm from a Nor’easter blanketed the eastern U.S. from West Virginia to Maine and broke records the weekend before Halloween Monday. NASA’s Aqua satellite flew over the region on October 30th after the snow was ending in New England and captured the ghostly blanket of white.

A high pressure area located over southeastern Canada was responsible for bringing in cold air and that combined with a low near the North Carolina coast this weekend. The result was an unusual snowstorm from West Virginia to Maine.

This visible image from the MODIS instrument on NASA's Aqua satellite on October 30th, 2011 at 11:30am EDT shows the extent of snowfall from the Halloween weekend Nor'easter that spread snow from West Virginia to Maine along the U.S. East coast. The snow is seen blanketing the ground, while clouds remain off-shore over the Atlantic Ocean. (Credit: NASA Goddard MODIS Rapid Response Team)
