One thing about Denver... the winter sun is strong at this altitude and it can get up in to the 60s and 70s even in Dec - Feb. I think my p-stem turned to mush last March. And in March it can get into the 80s. But then it always goes back to cold and some snow in April. Difficult climate to deal with!

Some of the southern(Zone 7-8 )fellas wrap mini christmas lights around the stem. after they wrap them up....sounds like a plan!!
As a fun test take a can of soda and wrap it with bubble wrap ,then put it is the warmest gloves you have and put it in your zone 6 freezer for a couple of days..
