My take on this Winter:
December: Other than the first few days more like November, wet, dull and mild. Xmas period in the run up to and to the New Year one of the worst I can remember.
January: Started the same as December (Unsettled) then huffed and puffed with some blocking and a colder/cold for 10 days or so but yet again no snow (11January's running now without). Finished with the same old garbage.
February: Like a Spring month, still rainy, mild basically like a March or early April. Only 1 ground frost.
2.5/10 for me as a Winter, we've experienced worse i.e. 2013/2014 but at least we did have some frosts/cold beginning of December and January.
30 seconds of proper snow falling.
0 days of snow lying (again).
Sadly I wouldn't expect much better next Winter either.
