Today's APOD

(I am wondering they are still around. In 2013, they went off line for a few days during gubmint shutdown. It's probably because this one is the most competent and stable shutdown the world has ever seen.)

What is it supposed to be? There is a picture of telephone-pole-high snow when I go there.

Oh yeah upper Michigan. If it had only snowed another foot and a half, they would have cancelled school for the day.

Well, that was the point: If you feel it's cold today, watch how it snowed right up the utility poles in the thirties.
