The folklore of thunder in winter

The folklore of thunder in winter is "thunder in winter, nine out of ten empty cowsheds".

There are many folk sayings that "thunder hits winter", which can also be used to predict the weather behind, or the year of the coming year. Among them, "ten cowsheds and nine empty ones" are one of them. If there is a thunderstorm in winter, most of the cows in the cowshed will die, and only one tenth will survive.

This is because there will be thunder in winter, which means that this winter will be very wet and cold. Cattle was originally a very cold-resistant animal, but because it was too wet and cold this winter, cattle were also prone to illness and death due to freezing injury, resulting in most cowsheds being vacant.

In the past, farmers depended on the weather, and there was no weather forecast. They could only judge by the agricultural proverb handed down from the experience of the ancients. This agricultural proverb spread widely and became the basis for many people to predict the cold and warm weather in winter.

Notice of daily lightning protection knowledge

1. When it thunders and rains, it is forbidden to stay at the top of the mountain or in hilly areas. More importantly, it is forbidden to continue climbing to see the rain. You shouldn't hide under a big tree or near a telephone pole, nor should you walk or stand in an open field. You should hide in a low-lying place as soon as possible, or try to find a house or a dry cave to hide.

2. In thunderstorm weather, don't use an umbrella with a metal handle, and take off glasses, watches and belts with metal frames. If you want to leave your bike as soon as possible, stay away from other metal objects to avoid being struck by lightning.

3. Don't go swimming, boating and fishing in rivers and lakes in thunderstorm weather.

4. When it is thunderous and stormy, tourists should immediately turn off the indoor TV, tape recorder, stereo, air conditioner and other electrical appliances to avoid conduction. It's safer in the middle of the room when it thunders. Don't stay under the electric light, and don't lean against posts, walls, doors and windows, so as to avoid accidents caused by induced electricity when it thunders.
