The dawn brought clear sky But, in a few hours, the warm sun would break the morning chill, and by mid-morning the perfectly clear sky would begin to lose its fair complexion as small buds of whiteness pop up hither and yon.

Frost Pockets
The lengthening nights during the late summer and autumn bring noticeably colder minimum temperatures across most of North America. If such nights have clear skies and fairly calm regional winds, the potential for temperatures to fall below the freezing mark increases as the days move on toward winter. This is especially true in low-lying terrain, hollows and drainage bottoms where cold air can pool. Such areas are more susceptible to frost than the surrounding terrain and are therefore known as frost pockets.
