Winter storms and elk hunt

It appears as if a winter storm is going to hit majority of the Rockies in Colorado this week. I was just curious to see what everybody’s hunting method during something like that is. Do you hunker down in camp? Try to be out as soon as it breaks or continue to hunt through it?
Say the hell with and go to town for two days.

Try and stay all out day if possible. The wind can shut them down or limit there activity, but the wind also helps you pin point where they will be. My experience if it is just snow they tend to keep moving around in the trees. It usually takes a bunch of snow to get them moving significantly to lower elevation. Just this last week we when back to dry out and warm up during a storm only to comeback out a few hours later and see tracks in our hunting areas.
