Many in the northeast saw Nemo on the ground, but did you see Nemo from space? A satellite was able to take photos and video of the winter storm from space.
Nemo dumped several feet of snow on the Northeast on Friday and Saturday. Many are left shoveling and digging out cars in up to 38 inches of snow. The storm even left four people dead. Many know what Nemo did on land, but they may not know what it looked like from above.
The GOES-13 weather satellite recorded the storm from Thursday through Saturday and it shows how two low-pressure weather systems met together and formed a giant nor'easter which affected several state. NASA's GOES Project officials said that "the two systems came together and created a blizzard of historic proportions in New England," Space.com reports.
"On Feb. 9 at 4 a.m., hundreds of thousands of people were without power in Massachusetts alone," GOES Project officials wrote in the description of the video that the satellite recorded.
The satellite video shows the storms forming as cold Arctic air from Western Canada met with a low-pressure system that moved up from the Gulf Coast.
The GOES-13 satellite is operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). They have several satellites in connection with NASA which track weather systems around the world from space.
