UK blanketed under record snowfall - but don't just take our word for it
The UK has been hit by one of the worst winter storms in decades. But don't just take our word for it - check out this photo from The Nasa Terra satellite. Similar winter storms hit all over Europe, but this photo of an entirely white country looks unbelievable. For an even more impressive shot - click here to view a version of the photo taken from 250 miles.
Parts of the country will be getting another 10 inches of the white stuff, and grocery stores are starting to run out of essential products. The national energy operator has even warned of brief periods of natural gas shortages.
Of course, the storms have also been wreaking havoc on the various airports. Gatwick airport canceled over 400 flights on Thursday, and travelers stranded there described the place as the "airport from hell".
Are you stuck in the UK? Flown through one of its airports? Let us know how you did in the comments below, or tweet including @Gadling.

The link to the 250 mile photo appears to be broken.

Thanks Bruce! I've fixed them. No idea what caused them to break.

Hi! I'm an expat living in the UK and it's crazy over here. I heard a rumor that the government is rationing salt and sand for clearing the roads because they are running out. only main roads are clear.
