Default winter?

Hi,
I suppose that most of us are happy about the warm winter, so far.
However, anyone who rough dug their plot during autumn to allow the frost
and winter weather to break it down has been out of luck so far.
Another problem which will most likely rear its ugly head is PESTS the
weather has been too mild to provide natural control over winter.
There may be another side of the coin whereby predators such as ladybirds
may have survived in greater numbers overwinter and will be active earlier,
so nature may provide a balance after all.
Wishful thinking or sitting on fence?
regards
