Sofar during the day it gets up to around 40-50* at night ranges between 5-32*. Had a good snow storm around Thanksgiving had between 10 to 24 inches between home and Fort Collins, but other than that seems to snow around 1to6" each storm and then roads are icy for a few days then it all melts off except for the shaded areas.

Sofar my truck is doing well in the cold with a switch to 5w-40 full synthetic delo engine oil. It only takes a little bit of a glow plug cycle to light off. Hard to untrain myself from the jump in and crank it that I was used to in the socal winter's. Haha

Sure use 4x4 alot more now these days haha... Driving in the snow and ice ain't too bad, the ice is a little unnerving. Had the truck stuck once sofar.....3 foot low spot in the dirt road 45 miles from town that the snow and wind had filled in level with the surrounding fields....I was down to my axles. Buddy came out and gave me a tug with his Jeep and I popped out. Just a few days ago he got run off the road in a big soft snowy spot and was a bit sideways in the ditch...I pulled him out with the truck.

You have a ton of snow more than us up here, we only have 6 inches on the ground and seem to be lucky enough to be only on the edge of the storms passing through..
