A cold cloudy day; snow flurries at times.
The light is shifting – the sky is generally warm (yellow grey) and the difference of light and shadow on houses is more one of value than color – At noon south side of house warm & light, west side colder & darker;
Again – west side warm & light, south side warm but darker –
_____
No atmospherical cold – houses are saturated with black – Winter Weather -
