It has been a mild summer in New Mexico and so far we are experiencing a fall with cooler than usual temperatures. It would follow that the winter will be colder than the average, but I predict that the lower elevations (less than a mile high) will be moderate and that we will have excellent snow in the mountains (great skiing).
At my house in Albuquerque at the foothills (over a mile high) we should get more snow than usual. However, less than a quarter mile west of us I don't think the city will get hit very hard with the white stuff. I expect to have to shovel the driveway 3 - 4 times instead of the average once per winter. A quarter mile east of us up the foothills of the Sandia mtn. range, our neighbors will need to get back-up shovels.

Here in Utah, September left with a couple weeks of above normal temperatures. Now October has arrived with temperatures at least 10 below normal! I have already had to turn on the furnace. Previous years it wasn't until November. I still had the sprinklers on when we got our first frost warning, oops. The weather here literally turned on a dime. My guess is a very cold winter with a lot of snow. At least the kids will have fun building snowmen

You obviously have rather warm weather in the winter. Here in Ottawa, Canada, it is rare that kids can build snowmen; the temperature is just too cold, and the snow just wont stick together. We can rarely make snowballs.
