Hopefully not, but nothing seems to be going our coldies way this winter.
November was a bit of false hope, 1.8c below average with plenty of frost and some early snowfall for some, especially upland areas.
December was MEH, far less frost than November and hardly a sniff at snow. 1.8c above average.
January by far the best winter month so far however it wasn't exactly anything special. 0.3c below average with 14 frosts and 2cm of snow. Also managed the first ice day since 2013.
Feb so far is looking to finish above average, only 2 frosts so far which is shocking, during the "colder spell" last week our lowest temp was 0.9c.
The fact people were flocking to 400m asl in the North York Moors to see 5cm of snow at the weekend shows how snowstarved many lowland folk are.
Not throwing in the towel just yet, snow fell here on the 26th of April last year.
