For the first time since 1918, snow fell in Buenos

For the first time since 1918, snow fell in Buenos Aires, Argentina, late on July 9, 2007, reported the www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/07/10/news/Argentina-Historic-Snow.php Associated Press. The snow was still there the next morning when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( modis.gsfc.nasa.gov MODIS ) flew over on NASA's terra.nasa.gov/ Terra satellite at 10:55 a.m. local time. This false-color image, made with a combination of infrared and visible light, reveals the snow beneath the clouds that still hang over the coast. In this image, snow is pale turquoise blue, while clouds are lighter blue and white. Not only does the snow blanket Buenos Aires, but it also covers a broad section of the highlands to the west.
