Utah Thundersnow Storm

Earlier today I awoke at 3:37 AM and began my day with a wee hours of the morning run southwest on Interstate-15 to get south of an oncoming storm. However, this was to no avail as we got caught by it between Sandy, Utah, and Cedar City, Utah. Prior to dawn we hit the worst of the snow this day which distracted me from even thinking to take photos given the urgency of the situation. At one point the sky exploded in an orangish-pinkish flash of "thundersnow". Later, as the sun dawned on a snowy landscape I captured these images. The red rock images at the end of this sequence of photographs were taken just north of St. George, Utah, just outside of town essentially.
