The current snow disposition over the UK can be seen on this afternoon's
noaa16 hrpt image.

Many other good images from today and the previous 6 days at:

Yesterday's images over the UK, showing the cloud head from the developing
low, I think are especially interesting.

Thanks Bernard,in the 1619 image

it's clear the smaller NWern cloud head has striations, as well as the cloud head on the wave
depression.Is Rich Dixon lurking?

So use the Dundee Uni "quicklook" first to a) see if the image is
worth the download and b) give the pass time better than trying to
guesstimate it from the global orbital maps.

Yet again I have taken the liberty of cropping two bits out and enhancing
the GB part:

That is still about 1.9MB though so about 6 minutes on a 56k modem.

The second image shows the snow cover over Iceland, except for the northern
part.

That is about 300KB.

Coarse tuning:

The Terra image is usually about 1030-1130, and the Aqua image
1300-1400

Fine tuning:

From the thumbnails find the W coast of Africa, the Western Sahara is
usually easy to spot, the UK image is usually two frames or so above.
more often the not the UK is to the edge of the image and highly
distorted, yesterday was quite a good one.
