STOCKTON, Minn. — Dawn officially arrived at 7:38. The underside of clouds like buttermilk curds caught rays of the rising sun where Highway 14 rises east out of Stockton toward Winona. Not even 19th century English-American painter Thomas Cole, known for his clouds, have captured the moment more spectacularly.
