Default Side effects of a cold winter

I'm assuming the North Sea is pretty cold this year.

So I expect that means, right through late spring and early summer,
potentially warm, sunny days in East Anglia are going to be ruined by
sea frets, gloom and drizzle. Deep joy.

Just had to order more oil and wood. I'm guessing a bit, but I think
this winter has cost me about £300 extra in heating.

Hateful weather - but xcweather is promising us +10c tomorrow. We shall
see...

True Chris! The heating has been on far more than usual.

Better side effects could be the probable lack of pests in the garden
this summer and a killing off of some of the alien species from the
south which have managed to get a toe-hold on the UK over the past 20
years, or so. This winter should have killed a lot of larvae and pupae.
