This series of Terra and Aqua MODIS "true color" images shows the transition from a dismal brown Christmas in December 2006 (which had an average monthly temperature of 30.5 F or 7.5 F above normal)...to snow cover in mid-January 2007 (3-inch snow depth with overnight minimum temperatures of -3 F at Madison on 16-17 January)...to frozen lakes and 5 inches of snow cover at Madison on 25 January 2007.
