Sunrise, December 3, 2010, Faribault, Minnesota
MY HUSBAND ALERTED ME to the beautiful sunrise this morning when he came to kiss me goodbye. I snapped up the shade in my office, gave him a hurried peck, and grabbed my camera, all the while explaining that I was sorry but I had to get a photo before the red sky disappeared.
I was right in not waiting, because, just like that, the red faded into the grayness of the day.
“Red at night, sailors’ delight. Red in the morning, sailors take warning.”
That’s holding true here today in Faribault. Around noon, light snow began falling. As the afternoon advanced, the snowfall got heavier and heavier, piling into inches. Flakes are still falling strong and steady on this day of the red sky morning.
