The University of Dundee Satellite Receiving Station has just received a spectacular image of snow covered Scotland. The image was received from the moderate resolution imaging spectrometer (MODIS) on the NASA Terra satellite at 13:40 on Thursday 8th February. It clearly shows the extent of the recent snowfall with all of Northern Scotland covered.
