   A light dusting of snow colored the Northeastern United States and
   Southeastern Canada in early January 2023.

   The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board
   NASA’s Terra satellite acquired a true-color image of the region on
   January 11. The New England state of Maine covers most of the lower
   section of the image. The Maritimes provinces of Canada—New Brunswick,
   Nova Scotia, and Prince Edwards Island—sit north and east of Maine,
   while the province of Quebec sits in the upper left. Snow appears most
   abundant along the St. Lawrence River, especially near the city of
   Montreal and most sparse along the Atlantic coastal region and in the
   south.

   According to local news reporting, Maine is suffering a snow drought
   this winter, with only significant snow in the far west and north of
   the state. The typical snowfall by January 12 in Caribou is usually
   46.5 inches, Bangor is 26.3 inches, and Portland usually has seen 23.7
   inches. However, snowfall this winter registers at 38.4 inches in
   Caribou, Bangor at 13.2 inches, and Portland, which sits near the
   coast, only near 7 inches. A winter storm moved in on January 13,
   promising to bring additional and much-needed snow to the region,
   although warming temperatures over the weekend may turn the
   precipitation to rain near the coast and in southern Maine.
