A Cold Winter's Flare

I am going to a Christmas Party tonight so I need to upload a bit earlier than usual. As I Ieft work, the sun was hidden behind the cold dark clouds, but then it began to come through. I tried a few shots, and when I uploaded them I was surprised to see that I managed to get a bit of a flare. "The air is cold, the wind still blowing, thank you Lord, it's no longer snowing." We had our first real snow this morning. Nothing near as bad as others, just a little dusting. I am satisfied with the amount we received. By the way, our spare care started just fine this morning. Have a great night. I will be back on later to check out all your postings and comment on them.
