Quebec Blizzard

Landsat 5 captured this natural-color image of Quebec just after the Great Blizzard of March 1993, a nor'easter also called the "white hurricane." The storm brought heavy precipitation, severe winds, and freezing temperatures to an area stretching from Northern Florida to Eastern Canada.
