GOES-16 “Red” Visible (0.64 µm), Near-Infrared “Snow/Ice” (1.61 µm) and Day Snow-Fog RGB images [click to play animated GIF | MP4]

In a sequence of GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Red” Visible (0.64 µm), Near-Infrared “Snow/Ice” (1.61 µm) and Day Snow-Fog RGB images (above), areas that received a significant accretion of ice — via sleet and/or freezing rain/drizzle from a significant winter storm — appeared as darker shades of gray in the 1.61 µm images and as darker shades of red in the RGB images on 04 February 2022. 

A toggle between Suomi-NPP VIIRS Visible (0.64 µm) and Near-Infrared (1.61 µm) is shown below, and provided a higher-resolution view of the darker ice accretion signature at 1942 UTC.
