Another everything you can think of day with dark drizzly clouds at sunrise with an occasional snowflake. The dark clouds moved slowly to the east with puffy whites moving in with a background of blue. Early afternoon we toured the Lime Lake, Maple City area looking for color and found a few nice spots, but the peak is still a week away.
