Default Frost free winter - how rare ?

Some wet sleet snow up here in Hampstead on the morning of the 27th so not a snowfall free winter. There might have been some settling right at the top up at Whitestone Pond but I didn’t have a chance to check and if so it would probably have been after the 0900 cut-off. Rain later.

I’m don’t recall recording an air frost in January (unlike St James park) but my thermometer is poorly placed so it is possible we nudged fractionally below zero. Still, none of my tender plants from the summer have shown the slightest frost damage.
