George,

Daughter Lyn and I were in the Park this Saturday and Sunday, and returned Monday morning to see it in the snow before coming back to Charlottesville. We enjoyed the experience immensely. The Park is beautiful in winter even without the Gates but there would never have been so many people of all ages out to see it if it hadn't been for the Christos work I loved seeing the crowds having such a good time among the glowing Gates despite the cold.
