"Snowmaggedon" in January 2011 left thousands without electricity, snarled road traffic, closed schools and stranded travelers whose flights were cancelled. Boston and Cape Cod are visible in the upper right, and New York City below them. On the left, under the snow, are three of the five Great Lakes - Lakes Huron, Ontario and Erie. (ESA)
