Zem, 
It may seem nice, but it can have its downside. One year we had an
unseasonably warm autumn. The temps remained high into early November
with no real fluctuation. Then a cold front came in fast with rain. Got
very cold very quickly overnight. The trees did not have a tapering off
hardening period and some could not handle it. The top of my favorite
dogwood broke from the pressure; I lost the whole top and center of it.
Ended up looking like a bowl.
