Winter - Occasional snowstorm. Usually it doesn’t drop very much snow and the snow doesn’t last very long, but this varies with location (mountainous / high desert). Most of the time it is clear and cold.

Spring - Lots of wind. Strong gales and cold weather, more clouds and rain showers.

Summer - Very hot. Summer thunderstorms / monsoons. Most come in the afternoon and pour a torrent of rain and often hail. Some monsoons last into the night and hit even after midnight, but clear skies by mid-morning.

Fall - Pretty clear, breezes, and sometimes lighter rain.

Colorado winters consist of: Torrential snowfall on Friday, grey skys on Saturday, and a 75 degree sunny day on Sunday. Wash, rinse, repeat. throw in some freezing rain and the occasional week of no precipitation, and you're good to go. As someone who has lived in Colorado, I can verify this statement.
