If you want to convince me to take 2018 over 2021, I could probably buy it...but not even close on 2017 for me....hands down superior winter, I couldn't care less about February skewing the season warm.
I would also take 2019 over 2018 because I got the one big dog in December 2019. I would rather one big dog in a sea of warmth then a slew of 2-3" front enders with cold that rushes into freeze the puddles.
