Not seeing the baby moon

After a day of snow and heavy cloud. They finally started to clear and gave me hope that I might be able to catch a glimpse of the really young moon. As the soon settled to the horizon, I was treated to a spectacular sunset through the trees on my western horizon. After the sun had sunk, I started searching with the bins, camera at the ready, but to no avail. There was too much cloud still, and the trees were in the way. Never mind. The clouds never really properly cleared, that I could tell, keeping a high level murk.
