The main phenomenon that influences our weather is the North Atlantic Oscillation. which can change from year to year. When it is more negative, it creates a lower pressure gradient between the Icelandic low and subtropical high. This allows the jet stream to drive further south, bringing down colder air. Last year it was in more a positive phase, thus the milder winter and spring. Nothing unusual here.
