...here are a few images from the previous small (but very windy!) storm on Tuesday.

I was a bit early on my way in to work Tuesday afternoon, so I drove around campus hoping to capture an interesting shot or two of the swirling snow.
The best opportunities to capture what I'd hoped happened while I was driving.
Indeed, this tree near Hitchner Hall was blown over by the wind (the weight of the snow on its branches contributed heavily - pun intended - to its downfall) while I was driving toward it.
It was fortunate that it missed hitting anything. There were a few cars off to the right and several lamp posts that could have been taken out. Since it's winter break, a snow day was called for campus and it was just plain effing cold, there wasn't anyone walking nearby when it fell. It was cool to watch, though. Probably good, though, that I wasn't wielding the camera while driving. I might have taken a few more photos, but while I was standing there another branch or two that got caught in the nearby trees fell. I figured I'd better scoot.
