Default Winter or Spring

So we get a winter storm with spring tides !

Well it's normally spring by now but this is one of the most
disorientating years in a long time, with unusually warm and sunny
weather in February then the most "wintry" (no snow down here in the
south, but gales, changeability and a lack of warm air) March for a
good number of years. Add to that the combination of the unusually
early Easter and relatively late start of British Summer time, and you
can see why it's confusing....

Roll on April :-)
