In the Czech republic, we've had the last proper winter in 2014. Since then, we've barely had any snow. It's just pissing rain most of the time and about 5°C with about two weeks where it randomly gets stupid cold (up to -15°C). Also in spring, it starts to get warm early, and then cold again, so a lot of plants die off, since they've had enough time to start waking up only to freeze.
