The morning began with quite a promising start… (Bit fuzzy; I was moving too fast to capture the moment in full clarity. Could also have been the coffee kicking in.)

Promising photographically, and sailor-take-warning batten-down-the-hatches kind of promising.

Off to a good start.

Oooh, nice!

Uh-oh.

Going, going…

Gone. :o(
Of course it fizzled in less than five minutes; I went for the camera. Still, that's quite a cloud bank to swallow such a promisingly spectacular sunrise so completely.
First flurries at 1:45pm, sleet at 3:45pm. Promise fulfilled. This may not be pretty...
