Best moment at 5:59 PM EST over Lake Champlain — 5 captures this evening

Quality 14/100Snow

What the AI saw

Thick cloud and snowfall produce a uniform, yellowish sky from urban lighting with little to no gradient or vibrant hues associated with sunset or post-sunset twilight. Roofs and streets are snow-covered and lit by lamps, creating localized highlights but no dramatic sky color or texture; the feel is of a snowy night with light pollution. This is not a visually rich sunset/twilight scene — it’s an overcast, low-visibility nightscape.
