A little closer (as in one 1/2 blocks) to where I am right this minute. In fact, I saw my office building in one of the shots (the view changes ever few seconds). Yes, it is cold and snowy - I LOVE IT!

I’m [here](http://www.canmorealberta.com/news/webcam/index.html), Canmore, Alberta, Canada. I’m about a two minute walk from the actual camera, but the view is to the Three Sisters, which is about a 10 minute drive, at least. That’s the view I have from the front of my house. It’s quite spectacular to see first thing every morning. ---
