Of cause not, If you can recognize these cold winters for 5 or then years, then it may be an indicator for a climatic change, and thats not the case, at least until now.
On the other side you can see the north pole melting, every year, as well as the glaciers. THATS a difference.
Generally global warming and cold winters are no opposites, at least for Europe. If the north pole melts the Gulf Stream most probably become weaker due to the lack of ice and the bunch of freshwater. So Europe's 'Heating' will become weaker and that can cause cold winters.
