Agreed, and also with your other post which mentions the recent cold snap preventing early flowering in the garden.
The way I see it is that even when background signals are good, getting any sustained length of winter cold in NW Europe is highly unlikely, frankly impossible these days.
Whenever a cold spell like this one breaks down, or like the one in Dec 22, its always replaced with a powerful & relentless barrage of zonality, sometimes, as was the case for the SE in Dec 22 for the remainder of the winter.
I remember winter Scandy highs from 30-40yrs ago bringing subzero temperatures and battleground snow to the SW many times, not any more, these days it’s all about the Bartlett High during winter months.
Cold & snow chasing for the UK, especially in the South is a hapless hobby these days, it’s quite depressing.
Anyway, roll on the clocks going forward and the spring time.
