Sunday
Sunday will offer soft conditions due to Saturday's snow. I expected "2-4" on Saturday, and the mid-mountain snow stake measured about 4 inches of snow on Saturday and Saturday night.
There won't be much fresh on Sunday morning, but conditions will be soft. Dress warmly as the temperature will be 0 to -5°F at first chair and rise to about 10°F under sunny skies.
Monday
Monday will be partly to mostly cloudy with a high temperature of around 10-15°F.
Tuesday
Tuesday will be partly to mostly cloudy and warmer with a high temperature of around 15-20°F.
Wednesday
Wednesday will be sunny and warmer with a high temperature around 25-30°F.
Thursday
Thursday will be sunny and the warmest day of the week with a high temperature of around 25-30°F.
Longer Range
Between Friday night, January 17, and Sunday, January 19, a storm will bring cold air to Colorado. The temperature during the weekend will likely be around 10°F, and if the storm tracks far enough to the west, there should be some snow as well, though I think accumulations will stay low-to-moderate (2-8 inches).
During the following week (January 20-24+), the temperature should warm up and we'll likely be just on the drier side of the storm track.

My next update will be on Monday morning.
