A warming trend is right behind the storm with temps predicted to be in the mid-80s by early next week. 

Officials from the Colorado Department of Transportation say they didn't pre-treat the roads because of how warm it was leading up to this snowfall. CDOT said it had about 100 snowplows out in the Denver region during this storm.
