One thing I've noticed with this ridiculously mild winter is that the

candy" by the coldies. None of that this winter and the models seeming
to verify the mildness quite accurately.
The good news is the excesses of the Express have been kept to a minimum
because of this!

Is it because the PV has been 'holding firm'?

I'd not noticed just how mild this winter has been until I had a count up of the air frosts this winter - there's currently fewer than there was at this point in that other ridiculously mild winter of 2013/14. I wonder if we're going to 'pay' for this late February / early March? It could spell disaster for growers - my fruit trees are already well in bud.
