Wondering why February has been so mind-numbingly cold? Here's why. NASA's Terra research satellite took a snapshot on February 19th showing that much of the US has been draped in Arctic and Siberian air masses, painting the country white with snow. Even southern cities like Macon, Georgia dipped well below freezing, according to weather reports. While those conditions are (thankfully) going away, they made for a spectacular view from space -- not that you'll likely want to see it again.

你在诧异二月为什么冷得如此彻底？这就是为什么。NASA（美国国家航空航天局）的Terra卫星2月19日拍摄了一幅照片，照片上显示北极和西伯利亚的冷气团笼罩着几乎整个美国，使美国大部分地区出现白雪皑皑的天气。谢天谢地这种天气终于要离开了，但从太空中看这种景色还是很特别的（虽然你们不想再次看到）。

以下是外国网友的评论：

-One wonders, after seeing ice in the Great Lakes lingering until JUNE last year, where the TIPPING POINT for all of this climatic instability is.  We should be more afraid of an  ICE AGE than we are of GLOBAL WARMING.

-去年五大湖的冬天结冰六月才完全融化，这让人好奇什么时候大家才能改变一下对气候不稳定性的看法。我们更应该担心冰河世纪的到来而不是全球变暖。

-It's about the offset. Without Global Warming it would be EVEN COLDER.

-这就平衡了。没有全球变暖，气候将变得更严寒。

-February here in Finland has been mind-numbingly warm :) I think it has been colder in the US.

-芬兰的二月特别暖和，呵呵。我觉得美国的冬天一直都是比较冷。

-Let it go , let it go , Can't hold it back anymore. Let it go, let it go. Turn away and slam the door! I don't care. What they're going to say. Let the storm rage on, The cold never bothered me anyway.

-Let it go, let it go...等等，这位网友还唱嗨了迪士尼动画《Frozen》（冰雪奇缘）的主题曲《Let It Go》。

-That's cool I didn't realize you could see the state lines from space.

-真棒，我没想过你竟能从太空中看到各州的界限。

-So sick of this winter. Al Gore - give me global warming!!

-真讨厌冬天。阿尔·戈尔，请赐予我全球变暖！

-Hmm, must take a lot of work to keep the state borders clear of snow.  :-)

-嗯... 州界那么清晰，花了不少精力吧。呵呵

-So glad I live in the Bay Area.

-为我住在旧金山湾区感到高兴。

-Beginning of Ice age?

-冰河世纪开始了？

-I like how the state lines are still visible through all the snow and cloud.

-我喜欢州界在茫茫大雪和云层中还如此清晰的感觉。

-Been pretty warm here in Portland!

-波特兰州可暖和了！

不是全球正在变暖么？
