Conclusion:
A very poor and abysmal winter overall in terms of snow and in terms of frost, it just got even worse over time with just the one air frost being recorded during the whole of February.
It was a very mild winter overall with all three winter months being milder than average.
It was a slightly drier than average winter overall in terms of the actual rainfall amounts, but a slightly wetter than winter in terms of the number of rain days and the winter of 2021-2022.was also slightly duller than average overall although December was its only duller than average month.
This winter overall was so poor that I came very close to giving it 0/10, but we did get a little bit of snow towards the end of February and because of that, I am going to give it 1/10 although even that is very generous indeed.
