The smell of winter is given by snow! Why is there so little snow in the south?

People often say: is the taste of winter given by snow? Winter without snow always makes people feel sorry. I think this kind of defect rarely appears in the north, because in many places in the north, snow will appear in winter.

Southern cities have many shortcomings. In southern cities, there is seldom snowy weather, let alone snowy scenes.

The main reason for the lack of snow in the south is that the overall temperature in the south is high, so that the rain will not turn into snowflakes because of the low temperature. Coupled with the high ground temperature, even if snowflakes fall, they are difficult to gather.

To sum up these reasons, they can be mainly divided into the following two types, which makes people living in southern cities have infinite expectations for the snow scene.

First of all, the average temperature in winter is very high. Winter in the south is wet and cold. Many people who stay in the north all the year round can't adapt to the winter in the south. Because in winter in the south, although there will be no temperature below zero, there is no heating.

Under such circumstances, in winter in the south, people are cold, so we can only keep out the cold by wearing more clothes or other heating equipment.

The temperature outside is much higher than that in the north. In this case, there is a lot of rain in winter in the south, but the rain will not turn into snowflakes, just because the temperature can not meet the requirements of freezing.

Secondly, snowflakes melt easily in winter in the south. Not only are snowflakes extremely rare, but even in snowy weather, there is little snow.

Most places where snow can appear belong to mountainous areas or high altitudes. For the plains below the mountain, snowflakes fall to the ground and slowly melt into snow water.

The reason for this is that the surface temperature is very high and the snowflakes are too big, which makes the snowflakes begin to melt after landing.

Except for the heavy snow in 2008, there is little heavy snow in the south; It is precisely because of this situation that many children in the south like it very much.
