If we are marking this purely on wintriness then it's clearly 0/10 and one of the worst I have experienced in 38 years. I drive over the A66 across the northern Pennines every week and I have never known such little snow at such height before.
However, if we are marking this on weather, just weather, then you have to say that it's been a cracking winter (I know people have suffered and I feel terrible for those that have suffered) as the wind speeds and the rain levels etc have been incredible.
You only have to look at Kevin's thread on the rainfall totals and you see that we have just witnessed something special.
It comes down to whether or not you are a fan of meteorology and the weather or if you are just a fan of hot summers and/or cold wintry winters.
As I am one of the former I have to rate this winter 8/10, yes I would have liked a little diversity from the wind and rain, but I'll take my chances on summer being hot and next winter being cold and be thankful that I have been part of such an extreme season.
