Skywatch Friday - Fire in the Sky and Snow Clouds

We had an impressive sunrise one week ago today - in fact I took these first two pictures three minutes apart, shortly after my Skywatch Friday post last week.
Then we had some snow, and this final picture was taken two days after that sunrise, trying to capture the sun breaking through the snow clouds.
Now we're under another winter storm watch, with several more inches of snow expected Friday night. Please visit the great Skywatch Friday site to see lots of different sky-themed shots.
