I just looked up from my work and saw an amazing snow-storm through my window. The space of air I see over 5th Ave was totally full of snowflakes, and looking up I could see them coming thicker and thicker still from the sky. The strangest part was that immediately outside of my window the flakes were actually falling upwards, caught in an updraft against my building's walls, I guess, but snow was flying in all directions as I looked out the window, and I could focus on different distances and see the snow moving one way or another, left, right, up, and down. I don't know how long this was going on before I noticed, but after I looked up the storm only lasted a minute or two, and as I started to write this, only a few lagging flakes were still floating about, apparently continuing in their indifference to gravity, and looking like a sparse cloud of confused white insects.
