What weather does this year's heavy snow and solar terms portend?

Heavy snow, solar terms, rain and snow indicate that this year will mark the colder weather and the greater possibility of snowfall.

There is a saying that cattle and horses will rest in the coming year, mules and horses will not stop, food prices will be as firm as iron, and toads will sing folk songs. When there is no snow on a snowy day, toads will sing folk songs: it means that if there is no snow on a snowy day, the chirping of toads around ponds and pools will make it difficult for people to sleep. If it doesn't snow on a snowy day, the cows and horses will rest in the coming year: that is to say, if it doesn't snow on that snowy day, the cows and horses will rest in the coming year because they have nothing to do. At the same time, it also means that when they are hungry for a long time, their mental state will be very poor.

Heavy snow without snow means that if it doesn't snow on this day, mules and horses will have to work in the fields all day next year. If there is no snow in light snow and heavy snow, the grains of wheat and barley will shrink: it means that if there is no snow in light snow and heavy snow, the wheat and barley in the field will be reduced because there are more shriveled grains. It doesn't snow in snowy days, and food prices are as firm as iron: it means that it doesn't snow in snowy days and solar terms, which means that there is no problem with grain harvest and people's rations are guaranteed.

Climatic characteristics of heavy snow solar terms

Heavy snow reflects the climate characteristics, and the solar term of heavy snow is characterized by a significant drop in temperature and an increase in precipitation. During the heavy snow season, most parts of China have entered winter, and the minimum temperature has dropped to 0℃ or below. In areas where cold air meets warm air at the front of strong cold air, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard. At this time, the Yellow River basin has gradually snowed, and in the farther north, universities have actually appeared. For most parts of China, it is basically winter after the solar term of heavy snow.
