    A house on the Plum Island seacoast in Newbury, Mass., sits partially collapsed into the churning surf Friday morning, March 8. The surge was driven by winds from a slow-moving storm centered far out in the Atlantic Ocean. The storm dropped up to a foot of snow in some parts of New England, caused coastal flooding in Massachusetts and slowed the morning commute in the region to a slushy crawl.

    This NASA Earth Observatory image of the day for March 8 shows Wasco, Calif. Rich soil, sunny weather and a steady source of water for irrigation have helped make this small town in southern California a global hub of rose production. About 40 percent of roses grown in the United States come from Wasco (population 25,000), home to some of the largest rose nurseries in the country. On July 10, 2011, the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA's Terra satellite acquired this simulated natural color image of the town and the surrounding agricultural fields.
