Blocking to the North has been lacking for some time now, this is true. But it has still been a much better Winter in terms of snow for more than just Northern England and Scotland. You don't get any further south than my location without getting your feet wet and only last Tuesday we had pushing on for 2 inches of snow. Granted it didn't hang around for long, but this winter has been a sharp contrast to last year.
It's a shame because the Azores High has really hindered our chances of sustained cold IMO this winter, however on the flip side it has been the reason for our cold spells(terms used loosely) when it has ridged into a favourable position in the Atlantic. At least we have managed to avoid the onslaught from the Atlantic that we saw last year, although I must say I would prefer deep areas of low pressure bring at least some excitement rather than a benign HP sitting over the top of us, as it has the past days.
Still time yet, March can bring snow and has done previously.
