Useful posting this is. I wish to point to the following link (though it is not 100% similar, but it tells how to skip a window). Thought others may find it useful.

  So, this was a fun little exercise…..

  Everyone knows that trunc(sysdate) will return the current date, rounded to midnight, that is, currently, for me, it would return '2006-05-30 00:00:00' (assuming your nls_date_format is set appropriately).
