Satellite Image of the High Plains and Rocky Mountains

The back edge of the clouds associated with the large storm system moving up through the Plains can be seen
stretching from south central Colorado to north central Nebraska.  The Nebraska Panhandle is snow covered.
The forested area of the Black Hills region of South Dakota is darker in color.  The Rocky mountains stand out as
well in central Colorado with their snow-capped peaks.  Western Colorado is snow free except for the
snow covered mountain peaks................................

Lake McConaughy can be see as a dark water body surrounded by a snow cover in western nebraska.
The city of Denver, with its plowed and bare streets (note photo below) appears as a gray area on this image
due to less snow coverage compared to the rural areas.
