Michigan’s seasons are gorgeous enough when viewed up close, but nowhere are the changes between seasons more visible, than from outer space.

Satellite imagery taken on January 29th, 2014 show a mitten coated in ice and snow — very little of what you see is cloud coverage.

On the right is a shot that looks back to May 1, 2013.  There is a much more hopeful brown and green, hinting at the growth of Spring.
