After watching this storm develop it was decided Sunday night that depending on the snow totals we say Monday morning would dictate whether we took the trip down to Wolf Creek, CO. The storm delayed, only laying 6 inches down for the a.m. report, however looking at the radar and CDOT camera we new it was game on.
