It's #WhereInTheWorld Wednesday! 🗺️🔍 Yesterday, the #NOAA20 satellite had a view framed by clouds of two lakes. One is named Lake Albanel, and the other is the largest natural lake by surface area in the province of Quebec, Canada.

The browns of summer have emerged across California as mountain snow continues to dwindle, per #NOAA20 VIIRS imagery. But water levels are doing great. Back-to-back wet winters translates to brimming reservoirs and a full Lake Tahoe for the first time in five years. #CAwx
