Every morning I admire the brilliant pink sky as I drive East to work. I have a ritual of whispering the old phrase, "Red sky in morning, sailors take warning," to myself as I hope, wish, and will it to snow. It hasn't worked yet. It's been several weeks of red skies (in both morning and night- "sailor's delight") and predicted flurries, but nothing. People are jumping out of their skins as they wait for the ski hill to open. And I think that my Scrooge-like attitude in school has a lot to do with the brown, uninspiring landscape. So please, for the sake of my kids, please please snow!

Well the phrase as I know it is:
Red sky at night, shepherd's delight; Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning
