The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on the Landsat 8 satellite captured these views of California's Mount Shasta on January 4, 2014, and November 1, 2013. The southern, eastern, and western slopes of the volcanic mountain have far less snow cover in January than November. Much of the surrounding landscape looks unchanged between the two scenes, except for longer shadows in January due to the lower angle of the Sun. In 2014, nature has been slow to replenish the snowy water supply in many places. The deficit of snow on Mount Shasta mirrors the wider issue of historically low snow and rain totals around California.
