Potsdam, New York – A post shared on X by user Richard Ohanlon, who describes himself as “The Weather Chaser,” showcases a vivid pre-Christmas sunrise over Potsdam in St. Lawrence County in northern New York.

The post includes three videos and one photograph, all focused on the early morning sky as winter light spreads across the town.

In the videos, the camera slowly pans and tilts across a dramatic horizon filled with intense pink, orange, and red tones. These colors are reflected on light snow covering the ground and on bare winter trees.

Other clips reveal quiet residential streets lined with utility poles and parked cars. Distant buildings come into view, including what appears to be a commercial area marked by signs and a red barn-like structure.

As the footage continues, the sunrise advances, with clouds streaked in fiery shades against the cold, wintry landscape.

The accompanying photograph captures a still moment of the same scene, showing the colorful sky above a snow-dusted road and trees.
