The sun rose at 7:20am in the East which would have been on the front entry side of the house, where the window (in which the abandoned flue was positioned), to the furnace room, was located.

The snow that covered the yard, as seen in the photos taken early on the morning of the 26th., fell on the 16th. & 17th.-a total of 5.9 inches.Then followed 6 days of above freezing daytime temperatures where the snow melted (down to an average depth of 1" on the 23rd. after a very light 0.2 inches fell. By the 25th. only a trace of snow, on the average for the weather station for Boulder, was left on the ground. Then on the 26th. a trace of snow fell with no significant accumulations, the "dusting". The remainder of the snow, just a "trace" melted on the 26th. Not much rain fell during the month, none in the two days prior to the 26th. It was a very light amount and I feel sure the ground was dry on the night of the 25th. & 26th.and probably hard.

57. "RE: moonset and rise"
In response to message #56

moonrise 5:32 pm 25th.
moonset 8:21 am 26th.
The moon was full, and set in the northwest, beyond the flatirons.
This was opposite the furnace window which bears on the lack of light within the furnace room at approx. 6:00 am when
Fleet White opened the door to the windowless room. As the sun rose at 7:20 am the only light availiable to Fleet at that time was the lone light bulb behind him which his rather tall figure blocked as he peered into the room from the door's threshold. Probably that is why he didn't see anything and John did, when he looked in at 1:05 pm. The sun's diffuse rays would have been entering the furnace room window at that time, and John's rather short figure would not have blocked the artificial light behind him
