   Cold and Cloud over Canada

   In late October 2020, frigid wind swept across northern Ontario,
   Canada, painting the landscape with a splash of seasonal snow. The
   first accumulating snow of the season began on October 18 across parts
   of northern and western Ontario, according to the Weather Network. High
   temperatures tumbled from a high of 61˚F (20˚C) early in the month to
   the low 20’s by month’s end as passing cold fronts brought gusting
   winds and snow.

   The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) acquired a
   true-color image of the winter-like scene on October 29. Highly
   reflective white snow can be seen dusted across the green landscape of
   northern Ontario while streaks of cloud brush across far northern
   section of the image and across the sediment-laden waters of Hudson
   Bay, in the east. Streaks of cloud also can be seen over Lake Nipigon,
   in the south. This area had been covered in cloud nearly continuously
   since October 20.
