When was the last white Christmas in Lee-on-the-Solent?
Our 1991–2024 reconstruction has no year meeting the Christmas snow threshold for Lee-on-the-Solent. That does not prove snow never fell: the model estimates falling snow on 24 or 25 December and ends in 2024.

- When was the last white Christmas in Lee-on-the-Solent?
- Our 1991–2024 reconstruction has no year meeting the Christmas snow threshold for Lee-on-the-Solent. That does not prove snow never fell: the model estimates falling snow on 24 or 25 December and ends in 2024.
- Was there snow on the ground near Lee-on-the-Solent on Christmas Day?
- Our Hurn station archive, about 45 km away, contains no positive Christmas Day snow-depth observations among 28 recorded Christmases (1991–2025). Missing years are unknown, and the station does not represent every part of Lee-on-the-Solent.
- How many white Christmases has Lee-on-the-Solent had?
- Our reconstruction flags 0 of 34 Christmases in 1991–2024 for possible falling snow on 24 or 25 December. This modelled count is different from the calibrated long-range probability of 1%, and is not a tally of officially verified white Christmases.
- Why does the snow history end in 2024?
- That is the end of the currently processed HadUK-Grid model archive. Later years are not assumed snow-free. Nearby station observations have a separate coverage period and may extend further.
