Christmas Day snow on the ground

Hurn · about 29 km away · 10 m elevation. NOAA snow-depth observations on 25 December, independent of our snow model.

No positive snow-depth record in the available Christmas observations.

Recent archive years. A dash means no observation; 0 mm means a recorded zero snow depth.

Frequently asked questions

When was the last white Christmas in Totton?
The most recent modelled Christmas snow signal for Totton was 1992, in our 1991–2024 reconstruction. This covers falling snow on 24 or 25 December; it is not a verified observation of snowfall on Christmas Day.
Was there snow on the ground near Totton on Christmas Day?
Our Hurn station archive, about 29 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 Totton.
How many white Christmases has Totton had?
Our reconstruction flags 1 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 2%, 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.
