Red sky in the morning

A red sunrise portends unsettled weather, while a red sunset assures calm.  Hence the old adage "red sky in the morning, sailors take warning; red sky at night, sailors' delight."

The sunrise this morning was blazing orange, which jibes with the forecast; everyone is keeping a wary eye on a nor'easter forming off shore.

I wouldn't say the kids are keeping a "wary" eye, exactly.  They're rooting for a snow day or three next week.
