Darkness visible

This was taken at about 9:00 a.m. this morning. The sun never rose today. Just for comparison, there should normally be as much light at that hour as there was in my yesterday’s blip. And even yesterday was a bit hazy: the first extra is the sun viewed through smoke/fog yesterday, and the second extra is the same view (roughly) today. No sun at all. If anything, it seems to have gotten darker over the past hour. It is really very scary.
