Default Moving to CO, need advise

Anybody here lives in Colorado, Denver area and vicinities? I might have to move there from California by the end of this month. Anything I need to be aware of to keep the IS in tip top shape (weather wise)? Thanks.

a set of winter tires for the winter is a MUST for your IS..

also.. i used to wash my car in the garage with Optimum no rinse in the winter..

after a storm, if possible within couple of days, set a "favorite" self-car-wash in your neighborhood, preferably one with heated water on power rinse and a strong spot-free rinse cycle.. most places give you an ultra weak spray for the spot-free, but some rare-gems give you almost full blast...

Good thing about Colorado is we don't use salt, so no rust on cars here. Bad news is we use a lot of sand, so expect rock chips on front of car and especially windshields.

But I'll take that over rust. And honestly, snow doesn't stick around here much. A foot of snow one day and all melted the next. Snow tires would be advisable.
