Satellite views for recent DV snow coverage?

Folks have occasionally posted satellite views of the Sierra, so one can judge snow coverage. I'm interested in the area around Mount Palmer on the E side of Death Valley and near the CA-NV border. What is the best source for relatively recent, preferably higher-res photos?

Clouds obscure the Death Valley area in the most recent shots, but the pics from the 12th are pretty good.

Thanks! I suspect the view may be different now, but I'll keep this url!

For what it's worth, I left DV this morning and there was no snow on Palmer or any of the east side peaks that I could see. The recent bout of storms dropped snow on the western mountains to ~4.5K ft on Fri. morning. However, the rains yesterday and today seemed warmer and that low snow melted. It was 100% snow free at Dante's late in the day on sunday.
