While it will be nice to not have our costumed kiddos in parkas for Halloween (although they may need rain ponchos), this weather is simply too warm for this time of year. I'm looking forward to seeing the snow return and stay this time around, and that won't happen with this sort of weather.
For me, a real concern is that our winter will hover around the freezing mark with no real accumulation of snow, but continually icy roads. That freeze/thaw pattern is hard on drivers and hard on the roads themselves. Instead, give me a nice coating of snow and cold temperatures to keep those flakes frozen.
I know that I'm often in the minority (even in Alaska) when it comes to my views about the weather and winter. However, I'm used to being "the weird one" and I certainly like it colder.
