How about this one? Warm days, cool nights, lots of bright sun. A bit Denver-ish, but somewhat warmer with not as much snow. Humidity levels will be relatively low throughout the year. Any takers?

Summers too warm, but at least the nights bring some relief. No real winter, but at least it snows a little bit. There could be some more precipitation as well.
I rate it a D. Winters are way too warm but still averages cool with some snow possible; still I give it very low marks. Summers are way hotter than I'd like or tolerate, and the nights, while better than in most of the subtropics, are still too warm and not conducive for my sleep. There is also a lot more sunshine than I'd like or tolerate. There isn't nearly enough snow and those figures are just token amounts as far as I'm concerned.
Aside from the chance of getting some nice weather in the otherwise lousy winter, there are no good qualities that I can find in this climate.
If there was 100 inches of snow per season I may have increased my grade by one notch, but with the average of 14 inches there is very little appeal. If the winters were more in line with Lake Tahoe (which still averages warm) than Denver that would be a major draw even with those summers, but as it is Denver is lousy enough without creating an even warmer version.
For my standards, those summers are nice; the maximum could be a little lower, like 84°F which is already hot enough for me, but those nights are a dream; this February we got even 74°F one night, and I managed without A/C, so ~60°F is pretty good.
However, I would find somewhat annoying a day with 80°F/50°F, like in May or September there... As I live in a nice subtropical highland I'm not very heat resistant and my cold resistance is a joke, so I would be wearing, like two sweaters in early a.m., especially if there were high winds and by the day I would already be sweating... I'd prefer a 70°F/60°F milder day, like we have when a cold front hits São Paulo when it is still not winter.
And I cannot rate the winter as I have never experienced a real winter... so something like a B- from March to November.
