Does it often snow in winter in Jiangsu?

Jiangsu belongs to the transitional climate from temperate zone to subtropical zone, with mild climate, moderate rainfall and distinct four seasons. The Huaihe River and the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu are bounded by warm temperate humid semi-humid monsoon climate in the north and subtropical humid monsoon climate in the south.

The average temperature in Jiangsu is between 13 ~ 16℃, in Jiangnan 15 ~ 16℃, in Jianghuai basin 14 ~ 15℃, and in Huaibei and coastal areas13.

Because the temperature difference between the four seasons is not big, it seldom snows in winter.

Extended data:

Snow is beneficial to the growth and development of crops. Snow is a kind of material with good heat preservation effect, which can protect plants from frostbite in cold winter. The melting of snow water in the next spring can provide a good water supply for vegetation. The power of nature is definitely not a coincidence. Because of the poor thermal conductivity of snow, covering the soil surface with a layer of snow cover can reduce the diffusion of soil heat and prevent the cold from invading the snow surface. Therefore, crops protected by snow can survive the winter safely. Snow can also store water for crops.

In addition, snow can enhance soil fertility. According to the determination, every 1 liter of snow water contains about 7.5 grams of nitride. Snow water permeates the soil, which is equivalent to applying nitrogen fertilizer once. Feeding livestock and poultry with snow water and irrigating crops can obtain obvious benefits.
