What was unusual about this scene on Skircoat Moor (also known as Savile Park) was that the red sky (not as bright in this photo as it was to the eye) suggested dawn or dusk; in fact it was taken about 10.45am, a good few hours after sunrise even in the winter. Given that the forecast was for more heavy snow later in the day, the old adage "red sky at morning, shepherd's warning" may well be true.
