Not just any old snowy morning. The very first snowy morning. All the forecasters said we’d get almost nothing. But Garry’s old pal is semi-retired, but he still very connected to the weather. He wrote to say “Oh yes you WILL get snow. Not a blizzard, but more than a dusting.”

Harvey is always right. It was about four inches and finally, mid afternoon, is melting away. I was up very early just to see the world. There’s a glow in a snow sky that’s unlike any other sky color. This morning it was glowing white with a pink undertone. I had to grab a few pictures before going back to bed. The Duke’s closeup was a bit later.

The sky was slightly more pink than the picture shows, but it was also dark. I lost a bit of the pink while brightening the photo. The shades of dawn are subtle.

And so winter is here. It has warmed up quite a bit since dawn and the sun is out. Still, this was our “official” warning shot. Next time, it could be a lot more. Or nothing. You just never know.
