I'm frustrated too.
HOWEVER...almost every 2023-24 Winter Outlook that I watched/read indicated the same general theme:
A well above normal December temp wise with little snow (verified perfectly)
A MILD January (1-3 degrees AN) with snow chances starting during the 2nd half of the month (My calendar is showing today as January 8th)
A colder, snowy February
Who knows what will happen from here on out, but to this point, the forecast for this winter has been SPOT on.
