I got up this morning and it was obvious that it snowed last night. Not a whole lot, but enough to leave about 1 1/2" on my truck. I made plans with my nephew to go out to his house in Wasilla (about 40 miles away) to install a gate across his stairway in his house. He needed to keep the little ones from taking another tumble down the stairs. It didn't look to bad here in town so I didn't think much about going out there. I loaded up the gate and my tools and took off for the valley. Following is pics that I took as I went to Wasilla.
This is what it looked like when I first left town
This is what it looked like by the time I hit Eagle River (about 10 miles from my house)
10 miles before I hit Wasilla
This is the gate that I built and installedSo needless to say, I think we can say goodbye to summer and hello to winter. Now to get my head all wrapped around the idea of 6 months of snow yet to come.

Incredible snow! I can't wait for it to start here.
That gate you made is fantastic.
Thanks Rayne, I tried to build it to withstand a 2 year old boy hell cat. lol. I know..... not a chance!
Boy, that looks cold up there now. It is snowing in the mountains here and we are down in the 30's at night now. BRRR!!!
Love the gate. You did a really nice job on it.
I bet you like the idea of being in the snowy cold than the firey hell you were in! ;o) wink.
Hey, great gate, ol' fart. Maybe when you get a chance, you can come down here and build a new 'front gate' to the apartments...this one sqeeks REALLY LOUD and keeps us up all night! Actually, I went out there under the cover of darkness and WD40'ed the hell out of it and fixed it, so now they think there is nothing to fix. I have to oil it up every four days or we don't sleep at night. I think they should put me on the payroll....
Have fun in the snow! Don't forget to where those 'grippers' that kathy got ya!
