Who knew moving could be so... good?

One of the many perks of our new studio and newsroom here at CNBC has to be the windows. See, while I absolutely loved the MSNBC studios that we used to call home, the only downside was the lack of windows. Lovely, sunny day outside? Nice, steady snowfall? Strong, severe thunderstorms? Nope, no way for us to see for ourselves. Unless, of course, if we dared to venture outside ourselves.

Wouldn't it be great if we could just turn our heads and look outside for clues on the weather? Well now we can! Take a look at these pictures I took from my desk as a squall of snow showers passed through northern New Jersey:

I know, I know, I'm just a little too excited over the fact that we have windows and a nice, scenic view. Especially considering that we have a brilliant staff of meteorologists and producers who can give you the latest weather forecast at the drop of a hat. But sometimes seeing is believing... if you know what I mean. So if you're sitting in your office looking out the windows and savoring the view, make sure to enjoy it. It sure beats staring at walls!
