Often times, there is a somewhat low probability that we'll be in the right place at the right time. One of the things I've learned over the years is that increasing the probability of chance events drastically improves successful events. One of the key skills I've developed over the years is reading and predicting weather. Now, I still have what I consider to be a rudimentary skill in this department, however, events like these, where I drive three hours in the dark to get to a place I've never seen because the weather patterns look favorable for the morning seem to indicate I'm getting better at it, slowly but surely. Or maybe I just got lucky again, who knows. Shortly after this moment it started dumping snow as it's about 10 degrees F at the time of this shot.
