Americans living in the eastern U.S. have certainly been feeling the cold this past week, but now they can see it.
This weekend, NASA released a satellite photo which shows the Midwest and East Coast turned white with snow and ice thanks to a recent blast of Siberian and Arctic air.
'Looks like the states have been sitting in a freezer,' the space agency said in a statement.
The picture was taken by NASA's Terra satellite 200 miles up from Earth on Friday when record low temperatures were set across the nation including in Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina and Georgia.
Any hopes of a big thaw should be retired for the time being. Another 'Siberian Express' weather system is forecast to hit Sunday, causing a rain-and-snow storm to hit parts of the East Coast and South.
Shivering states: This satellite image was taken 200 miles up from Earth on Friday, when record low temperatures were set across much of the Midwest, East Coast and South
Six inches or more of fresh snow was forecast for parts of the Northeast by early Sunday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). Bitter cold is also expected, but conditions should start to ease in many areas by mid-morning, the service said.
Boston, which had already been hit by 98.7 inches of snow going into the weekend, saw only about an inch Saturday, but local weather watchers there were forecasting the total tally to hit 100 inches by midnight. The city's total is well above the average yearly total of 31 inches
The new round of harsh weather is part of a system that has cut a curving, 2,000-mile path from southern Missouri to Maine.
Snow and ice contributed to major delays at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York Saturday, with some arriving flights delayed more than two hours, and flights destined for Newark International Airport in New Jersey were delayed more than three hours, according to a Federal Aviation Administration advisory.
Winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings were in effect until Sunday for parts of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire, the NWS said.
The system dropped steady snow on Washington and Baltimore as it pushed up the East Coast Saturday. West Virginia saw 18 inches of snow, according to state officials.
