<p>We&#8217;re finally getting some fairly serious-looking snow here, compared to what we&#8217;ve been getting.  Click on the pictures to see the larger size, or else go to my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/silentmiaow/sets/72157594448312036/">snow set on Flickr</a> and view them there (takes some clicking around that way to see the biggest size, but it&#8217;s there).</p>
<p>I also took a couple from inside the building.  One is from my apartment (where I could open a window to take it) and the second is from the top floor (where the only windows that open have screens, and I didn&#8217;t want to get in trouble for dropping a screen eleven stories, so I took it from inside).</p>

<p>That last one I kept at the very high resolution when I uploaded it, so you&#8217;d have to click on it to get that one, I don&#8217;t think Flickr points to that one automatically.  I left it that way because it looks really cool to see all the buildings and stuff so detailed.  I took it from the room that Laura and I had to stay in last year while they were working on our apartments, which is back to being a lounge instead of a crappy apartment. If you look towards the back right you can see a wind turbine that we liked to watch when we were up there.</p>
