Yep. Snow free winters are not unusual here, or for other parts of the south coast, I have recorded many of them in the past...
After the cold December in 2010 the rest of the winter (Jan/Feb 2011) was quite mild & last winter was mild apart from a 10 day cold snap in February, but we got no snow. Infact last winter my first & last airfrosts were recorded in February!

WHAT! So you got no air frosts in january or Decemer?
Well, we are rural and further north with lower sea temperatures so it is easy to get a frost early. It is common to get ground frosts in the summer here.
I think it would be very late to get a first frost in december. I think there are some frost hollows in london like benson which might have gotten an early frost this year.

Nope, winter up to February was mild. Most years I don't record my first air frost until around Christmas time, because it has been mild recently I have yet to record an air frost this winter, lowest so far has been 0.2C.
Having lived here all my life I am used to not seeing snow very often, I can remember being very upset as a child when the news would show snow across much of the UK & we had rain

Benson is in Oxfordshire. Northolt is in greater London & they can often be they coldest spot in 'London'... Though Northolt is far out from the centre of London proper. Central London probably hasn't gone below 0C yet either...
