Gulp! That was our reaction when we saw this satellite image from NASA of the huge winter storm that's in the midst of walloping the mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

The photo was shot today by NOAA's GOES-13 satellite. The GOES-13 is the same satellite that captured this terrifying image of Hurricane Sandy battering the East Coast last October.

Stay warm, friends!
