This is a fair interpretation in my opinion, we didn’t have the same bitterly easterlies we had in 2018 but pattern wise this winter has been pretty similar we’ve just not had the same extreme cold for a length of time, it tended to be short bursts of extreme cold and longer periods of colder than average although we have to remember it hit -23c on one night in Scotland. I’m worried about the March high pressure as a warm weather fan though, I feel like having a nice early spring might lead to a shocking summer but I don’t know if this is me just being pessimistic
