Is Winter going to hang around for long?

As it is in the Northeast, we have too long of a winter anyway, but when it starts before Halloween, well, there is just something wrong with that scenario! While right here in the village, there isn't much, in the outlying areas, and even up North, 6 inches is just the beginning!

Ugh! I want it to all go away! Where are those warm days again, and the pretty leaves?
