Snow in central Canada

Winter weather is beginning to move across Central Canada. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Terra satellite captured this true-color image of snow in Manitoba and Saskatchewan on November 15, 2003. The normally milky waters of Lake Winnipeg, image center, blend into the white landscape, making it difficult to see the contours of the lake. In the upper right corner, ice seems to be forming along the shores of the Hudson Bay.
