We hope you didn’t have plans to fly anywhere near the Northeast this week, as a massive Nor’easter is shutting down New York and Boston today and tomorrow. But this look at the storm from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is pretty cool.

The video captures what happens when the low-pressure area from the Midwest moved into the Atlantic Ocean, set to cause the blizzard that everyone is pretty much freaking out about today. The footage was captured in a NASA movie of NOAA’s GOES-East satellite imagery and spans the storm’s path from Jan. 24 through today.

Many parts of the Northeast are set to get between 1 to 3 feet of snow, according to the National Weather Service. Watch the space video, then look outside at your sunny Pacific Northwest Monday and thank the universe we don’t have to deal with stuff like this.
