Corking year here in N Oxon, Snow in October, transient snow November. Cold for the majority of December then mild up to Xmas, then that really cold spell NY - early Jan, with sub-zero days frequent, and those -12C/-13C night minima, average to cool for the remainder of the month in January then from 31st Jan - 12th February at least some snow fell on every single day, we had 10 inches at one point and the greenery to the countryside only returned yesterday. Pretty good IMBY.
