   Snow in Arizona and Utah

   The high elevations of northern Arizona and southern Utah wore a
   blanket of snow in early January 2021. The Moderate Resolution Imaging
   Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on board NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this
   true-color image on January 5.

   Most of the snow in this image fell in late December 2020, with skies
   generally remaining clear in the opening days of 2021. Snowfall in much
   of Utah remains lower than average, according to local news media, but
   light snow fell on January 8 in some areas. Ski resorts in Arizona are
   open but are primarily using machine-groomed snow. According to Arizona
   Snowbowl, in Flagstaff, Arizona, the last snow at that resort was on
   December 7, 2020.
