One of the fun things about winter weather is that you really never know what you’re going to get each morning. Even on mornings when the forecast is for clear skies, the mountains can still be shrouded in clouds, such as the scene in this photo. Unless it’s -20F or colder, anything is possible. When it gets down into the negative temperatures though, pretty much any moisture in the air is gone and it’s clear. A few days ago I headed out with lows right around zero and a forecast of partly cloudy. But the light on the Centennial Range, which creates one section of the border between Idaho and Montana, was stunning as the mountains peaked out of the clouds and caught the early morning light.
