I have seen the dryer vent through the window pane set-up before. It is
certainly possible to do it that way. However the air from the dryer needs
to flow outside somehow otherwise the clothes won't dry. Unless you prop
the window well cover open you will be preventing the dryer from operating
properly. You can also count on the window well getting covered with lint.
