As Britain gets used to regular temperatures of less than -10, and we run out of salt and grit, the University of Dundee Satellite Receiving Station has downloaded an amazing image from the NASA Terra satellite, showing the extent of the cold weather.
Dundee Satellite Receiving Station (DSRS) systematically receives and records data from a number of polar orbiting Earth observation satellites and has a long term archive of over 70,000 recordings extending back to 1978.
This image was captured on 7th January 2010.
