February in Bingley: temperatures close to average, sunshine a little above, rainfall a bit below. No particularly interesting weather events.
The winter as a whole hasn't been remarkable for temperatures or precipitation, but a total of 44 cm of snow with snow cover on 24 days (as of 3 March) is pretty good going.
As for England as a whole, December and January were extremely sunny - with 18 more sun hours than any other Dec-Jan combination ever recorded - and February did just enough to make this the sunniest winter on record. Four of the top five and eight of the top 11 sunniest winters have been from this century. I'll have to wait until mid-month to get the sunshine total for Bradford to see if we had our sunniest winter ever as well, but either way it will be very close.
I'm just curious what site did you get that from? Looks cool.

Ogimet - it's got a pretty big archive of weather data from all sorts of places around the world, just find the five-digit code for the site you want and put it in the URL in place of the 03344 in my link.
Here's 2015 so far. February was the coldest on record though roughly tied with Feb 1934. The mins made the record. January ws also below average but nothing unique. Most of the January precipitation was in rain events that were accompanied by brief warm ups. Also interesting was the high snowrecipitation ratio (19:1). No rain last month so easy to calculate, lots of powdery snow.
Looks as if the warmer west beat out the colder east this February. CONUS is +0.13C above the 30 year average
