The sun is breaking through in a big way and a small amount of blue sky can be seen above the hilltops. Even though the temperatures are below freezing, the road in this area is wet rather than being icy. In fact, in places, there is standing water.
I suspect that this would have been drop-dead gorgeous a half-hour later, when the sun fully illuminated the snow on the hills. It would have been blindingly bright, but beautiful anyway.
