Summer8906 Yes not a very stormy winter, and in the main despite how wet it has been, the rain came in moderate outbursts, steady rather than deluges... at least from a lakeland perspective, hardly any flooding, which is a big bonus.
We were not far off a cold unsettled winter, had the jet been more southerly, the cold was there to our north, just out of reach to tap into, evidenced by the fact Iceland had a cold winter, Shetland was average.
