using snowfall to show the updrafts between skyscrapers

Every day I get to watch odd things floating upward between my building and then next skyscraper over. Most of the time it's a falcon or a plastic bag, but today I got lucky.

 

If you watch the video for more than a few seconds, you can see that the drafts between the buildings are constantly changing. Up, down, across, every which way. Not really intended for viewing the entire 6 minutes, but it's there if you must...

Kind of fun. I'm on the 28th floor of Rennaisance tower in Dallas.

Ren tower is also shown here and here. It's kind of famous because it was where J.R.Ewing worked in the Dallas TV series from the '70s, or whenever that was.
