The New Year was ushered in to southwest Montana by red morning skies forewarning a big snowstorm:
Followed by -20 deg F temperatures with blue skies so bright it makes you ache (view of Mt Fleecer south of Butte, Montana):
Of course, the skiing is wonderful--once it warms to around zero in the early afternoon!
Ah, that does look familiar! Nothing like winter in Montana! Gorgeous skies regardless! Terrific captures for the day! Hope you have a great new year with lots of laughter, love and great photo ops! Enjoy! Thanks as always for your visits/comments! Much appreciated!

I think the cold is worth it, if you get skies like that.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your family.
Happy New Year Pat. A small wish on this day. Please send those usually east southeast heading subsub zero temps in a different direction.... just this once. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat sunrise but I also love the blue of the day.
ReplyDeleteA very Happy New Year to you and those you care about!

Wonderful photos - one day I'll see the broad skies of Montana! Happy New Year :)
ReplyDeleteGrogeous. But "warms to zero." Oh, my.
ReplyDeleteAnd you had blue skies! We have had clouds and mild temperatures, so most of the snow melted. Today, there is sun, and I can barely move, my back aches so...
ReplyDeleteOur temps have been almost that cold. I'm waiting for above 20 before I go skiing.
ReplyDeletenice shots, the bottom photo just LOOKS cold!
