Description: Clear view of the U.S. mid-section at 1:25 Central Standard Time. Nearly all of the white in this image is snow and ice, except for a bit of clouds in the lower right (south-east) corner. The outlines of the Ouachita and Ozark mountain ranges darken the snowy landscape, while river valleys such as the Mississippi appear brighter due to fewer trees. Gray-white areas are often developed, urban landscapes that have been coated by snow; some, however, are just rural areas that received less snow.
