Whether it is called \u2018Snowmageddon\u2019, \u2018Snowpocalypse\u2019 or any other array of the names, the amazing series of winter storms that have struck the Mid-Atlantic States<\/a> has been nothing short of astounding. Two storms struck the region in less than a week and NASA satellites have captured images of what the scene looks like from space after the second storm struck.<\/p>\n

Baltimore, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Wilmington and Atlantic City have all set new records for seasonal snowfall<\/a>. Baltimore has recorded nearly 7 feet of snow so far this winter eclipsing the previous record by more than 17 inches.<\/p>\n

All of those cities have recorded more snow than ones in the Rocky Mountain region<\/a>. That also led to the unusual event of 49 of the 50 states having snow on the ground on the same day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The image to the right and below was taken by NASA\u2019s Terra satellite on February 11, 2010 after the second blizzard struck.<\/p>\n
