You say so far does this mean you still counting winter days?
Would 1st March not be start of spring in climate terms?

Cheers.

I'm a little confused Philip, just as I was going to total mine. Which
months are you referring to, as I would have just included Dec/Jan/Feb?

As the season for sub-5 and sub-10 days defines itself, I'm
counting the entire season ... starting in October (or even Sept
one year) and ending in April or May. You don't have to do
the same thing, of course, if you don't want to!
