Snow Photos

I promised I'd post some snow photos, so here we are. First, some comments. The snow we got the other day wasn't terribly deep, it was just sudden and wet and fluffy and made people drive like lobotomized houseplants. This probably includes me. Also, I should comment on Laramie's sublimation. It is so dry here that when we don't get snow, and if it stays cold enough, the snow will still slowly disappear, simply skipping over the whole "water" part. This is not the case yet, because a) we haven't had snow long enough to see it happen, and b) the snow is disappearing more to melting than anything else. I mention it because what you see in the photos will look a lot like what it looks like all year round. It's just really, really dry here.

This is a shot from the law library window, second (top) floor, in the evening as the sun sets. The dome-ish thing is the Arena Auditorium where the university has its basketball games, and probably other events.

This is also from the second floor of the law library, but this one is just at dawn the next day.

Here's the same window, slightly different angle. If you look closely, you may see the city cemetery across the street. I love the fire hydrant sitting next to the tree, sort of the middle of nowhere.

Finally, just for fun, here is the same shot this morning. We had a spot of snow coming down at the time. You'll notice there has been some melting by now.
