For the past five Saturdays, I've been making the trip up and back to Winter Park, where my kids have been taking snow boarding lessons.

Each Saturday has been a transportation challenge. For the past four Saturdays, it's been the amount of traffic. Today, it was the amount of snow. I can't really complain, though, since my brother-in-law has been doing the driving (thank you, Lou!).

Things started off fine this morning, but really took a turn after we left the highway and headed up over Berthoud Pass. Snow & wind big time.

This photo was made as we came off the pass and were on final approach to Winter Park - about the only upside of today's drive up.

It's been snowing all day here and were just preparing to make the return trip. Wish us luck!
