With the Denver area undergoing an unusually long cold spell, ice has
built up fairly solid in the gutters, and on lower shingles, on the
north side of house. The south side does get just enough sun to have
melted OK. In 20 years in this house, this has not happened before.

Is there a best way to remove this ice before any damage is done,
particularly if it ever warms up again around here ??

The gutter and eaves are first floor, easily reachable with ladder on
ground.

Well I read this and I would figure on two things.

1. You're CRAZY, I thought global warming had Colorado like Florida
by now.

2. Wondered if you thought about using a non-corrosive ice melt?
