"The MODIS on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this view of snow in
England on February 4, 2009. The snow stretches from the English Channel
north under a bank of clouds near the Scottish border. The winter storm
that brought the snow in the first days of February blanketed southeast
England with the heaviest snow the region had seen in 18 years, said BBC
News. As much as 20 centimeters (8 inches) of snow fell on London. The
poor weather closed transportation, schools, and businesses throughout
southeastern England, reported BBC News. "

Nice false-colour image that distinguishes the snow from the clouds.
