One of the worst ever winters for sure. A total disgrace.
Only interest for me really were the frosts at the end of January and snow during the weekend of 2nd/3rd February. Other than that a complete disaster. Boring and tedious beyond words.
It speaks volumes that, asides from that the best weather was the exceptionally mild and sunny conditions over Christmas which at least allowed me to get a bit of walking done. February's mild weather was garbage as there were really only three decent days - all during the week. Weekends were 11C with a fair bit of cloud and wind, conditions which hold zero appeal for me.
No frost since 10th February and only five for the month of February which is the joint lowest in my records with 2011 and 2017. Even the Atlantic driven 2014 managed more frost which says it all.
21 frosts for the whole abomination of a winter. Adding the two in Autumn gives 23 which leaves spring needing to produce two just to equal my lowest ever total of 25 in 2016/17. Abysmal. Spring 2013 managed more frosts than any winter since except 14/15 and 17/18. That is shocking.
This article in the local rag sums up what a bland embarrassment our climate has degenerated into:

As evidenced by the video there was no extreme snowfall this time last year. It was a load of crap. The cringeworthy 'now and then' pictures are a sick joke. I can't get believe that this is a genuine article and not a spoof. Is that even snow in the top one or just a frost?
No decent snow for six or even eight winters given that January 2013 wasn't much cop away from the higher suburbs
