By early March 2010, several winter storms had left snow cover stretching from Canada southward to West Virginia. Mostly clear skies over the eastern US and Canada allowed this unobstructed view on 6 March. The navy blue of the eastern Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean contrasts with the snow cover. South of Lake Ontario, the Finger Lakes resemble giant claw marks in otherwise snow-covered New York state. Snow appears the most opaque in Ohio, central New York and between Lake Huron and its neighbouring lakes to the east.
