A winter dominated mainly by mild winds from a westerly direction. However the first half of February saw very cold air from the east which brought the season mean temperature closer to the 1981-2010 average.
Driest and sunniest winter since 2008.
The four most recent winters have all been 'wintry' in terms of snowfall and frost totals
