I vist the springs every January for business for the vast 5 years, and every year we have had at least one day reach 70 degrees. A week later they get snow but the snow really is not that bad near the springs. Head up into the mountains and it's a different story. Weather seems to change frequently there.
Yep...thats how it always is. Can predict an entire winter based on a one week experience for a couple years. Not exactly.
The winters here aren't anywhere near as bad as, for example, the midwest, and there will be a number of clear days where its warm on the front range and snowing in the mountains, but that doesn't mean the OP can simply park his non-winterized rig and he'll be good.
There will be periods of bitter, subzero cold and an uninsulated rig with an open underbelly will freeze up like a popsicle unless some special efforts are made to keep things thawed.
By the way...the weather changes frequently and dramatically all along the front range and in the high country.
