SNOW!! <BR>We had a foot in the Chicago area yesterday.

Rub it in, David! <BR>We just got back from our first Euro/tour in Oct. LUV'D IT. <BR> <BR>Sorry to say, we were very suprised at London! I don't know what we were expecting but we fell in love with the place and will def. allow more than 2 days to hike it. Stayed at The Reubens. Worth every pound! <BR> <BR>Anyway, I can see out my home office window that I still need to do some pruning. And if I get up on my desk and look over the fence, I can see the sun starting to peek out thru the haze and see a lot of fresh, new snow covering the Sierras about 45 miles away. And that's where snow should be from Kal, 45 miles away! <BR>Cheerio and Mahalo, <BR>Kal

From the largest IBM complex in the world (RTP, NC) I do not have a window. But if I walk down the hall and look out the closest window, I can see the building next to me. It is an old manufacturing building built in the 1960's turned into offices. Someday, the 60's manufacturing motiff will come back into style. (Could be a long ways away by the look of this building) That is what I see.

From my office here in Tucson, Arizona, I look out onto the Santa Catalina mountains. They're craggy, rugged and beautiful. The sky is blue, clear and it's in the low 60's. <BR> <BR>However, I'd much rather be looking out my window in London . . . <BR> <BR>(And yes, coming to the Fodors site during work helps keep me sane.)

Linda

From my front window I see a foot of snow! Merry Christmas early this year! <BR> <BR>Linda

Cindy

Well, I work from home in Bethesda, Maryland, in an upstairs bedroom. The window is above eye-level, so all I can see is my computer screen, a pale yellow wall, and all of the debris on my desk. If I stand on tip-toes, I can stretch myself up tall enough to see out the window (the window begins very near the celing). Then I can make out my neighbors houses across the street and lots of trees with no leaves on them. But I can always see the sky, and today it is a brilliant blue. <BR> <BR>Maybe I'll go outside instead of working today. Sounds like a good plan.

Lori

I have 2 windows in my office (oooh aaah. From one I look at a bunch of other buildings - rather non descript. From the other if I crane my neck just right I can see Times Square.

nancy

From southern Vermont, <BR>Looking at many cedar trees with chickadees flying from branch to branch, with a background of brown cut hay in the field beyond, along with the <BR>ubiquitous junk car and rusty dead farm equipment that decorates most places around here. <BR>Only a few tiny snowflakes blowing in the air. <BR>We *want* snow! <BR>nancy <BR>nancy

I should be able to see St. Louis' Union Station from my window, all dolled up for Christmas. Everything is a little blurry though. I just went out to my car to put some packages in it. The doors were frozen shut. So I put them in the trunk. Then a huge gust of -25 degree wind blew my heavy-with-ice trunk onto my bloody (literally) head. Merry freakin Christmas. I'd give my eye teeth to be in London right now.

Bill

I'm looking at the Maryland State House in Annapolis... the oldest American state capitol building in continuous legislative use (since 1770). Also the Maryland Governor's Mansion (c. 1867).

AC

<BR>Ouch erica! <BR> <BR>No window so I'll have to use my imagination...Hmmmm...how about Paris on a lovely afternoon about 3PM. Sitting at an outdoor table watching the world pass me by...Oh wait...It's cloudy, cold and very windy and my neighbor's Santa and sleigh just flew by...with him running after it! Oh my!

Thyra

Can I start crying now???? I have a huge picture window to my left, which looks directly onto.....a massive white stucco wall. This is even more disturbing because if I could take plastic explosives and get rid of the stucco wall, I would have the most amazing view of the Hollywood Hills and the famous Hollywood sign, the Capital Records Building and all of the best Hollywood landmarks! It's a bright sunny, non-smoggy day and in theory, I could see it all beautifully, from my 7th floor office space in Mid-Wilshire....does anyone know where I can get a chain saw.... I just know stucco would be a breeze to cut through!

KATHY

Well I am here in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and I see a lot of SNOW. We had so much that the company I work for closed yesterday (unfortunately I am here at work today) for the first time in 20 yeard. I also see the Allen Bradley clock tower. It is supposed to be the largest 4 sided clock in the world, though I don't know if that is true. Other then that I see alot of depressed houses. <BR>

Here in NYC, in Battery Park, it's windy, mild and partly sunny/cloudy. The harbour is choppy. The winter sun is casting long shadows. It doesn't feel very much like Christmas in Wall Street - I'll have to go to Midtown and rub shoulders with the tourists. I love winter days in NYC (even though February can be a bit cabin-fever inducing)

Amy

Well David, I am here in the beautiful Great Smokey Mountains in Asheville, N.C. And, as the wind gusts up to 40 mph at times, I see several folks holding on to those Christmas packages and briefcases. A lot like a verse from "Silver Bells" and its BEAUTIFUL!

I've popped to this site a few times today and have smiled a lot. Thank you all. Looks like Fodorites are either in their office of bird watching. My office window does not look over any great monuments or any bird feeders. It is a street level law office looking out to a parking lot abuting a highway. I need to get out of here for a few days so I have been searching Spain. Don't tell the boss.

Dave

David: <BR> <BR>Out of my window I have a clear view of the John F. Kennedy library, University of Massachusetts/Boston and a fairly good view of the Boston skyline from my office located on the water just south of the city. Can't wait to see London!! Had to cancel my trip planned this past September due to an emergency. Will re-book soon!

kavey

Hi All <BR> <BR>At the moment I am at home so nothing other than black outside and my beautiful (if i say so myself) swiss pear study... <BR> <BR>But from my office desk, which is by the window I look out onto a busy road and Mornington Crescent Tube Station. And a little gated park with winos in it. <BR> <BR>And rain. Lots of rain. I got wet today. <BR> <BR>Kavey

Would you believe the 405 (San Diego) Freeway, you know, the one that has heavy traffic 26 hours per day. The up side is that I keep my mind on my work. <BR>

Spanky

It's 4:50 PM in Philadelphia -- there's an absolutely magnificient sunset out my window, pink skies and streaky mauve clouds -- I'm on the 30th floor and I get to see the best of the town -- boathouse row (no rowing teams out right now) and the Museum of Art where Rocky jogged up the steps. Like Paris, thee are 8 bridges over the Schykuil River and the water is glistening -- lots of traffic moving on I-76. It's so peaceful up here, soon I'll be in the midst of stress driving home to New Jersey.
