What does thunder portend in winter?

Where it thunders in winter is a bad omen for people in that area, because there may be heavy snow, the temperature will drop to a very low level, and many livestock and people will freeze to death. There is a folk saying that it thunders and snows in winter, and the ten cowsheds are empty. It means that when it thunders in winter, the weather will become very cold, and even the cows at home can't stand the low temperature and will freeze to death.

In a word, thunder in winter is a sign of coldness, but in fact it is all a saying. Most of us have never seen thunder in winter. There is really little thunder in winter, which also has its scientific basis. From a scientific point of view, the weather reaction caused by cold and dry air has nothing to do with the omen, nor does it mean that it will be very cold the next day.

Extended data:

The wisdom of the ancients has not yet been opened, and they are very afraid and awed by this rare and terrible weather phenomenon. Specifically, they regard winter thunder as a natural punishment, which roughly means that people who don't do good deeds will be hacked to death by winter thunder. These views remain in many literary works and folk proverbs.

Winter thunder shakes, everything declines, insects don't hide, and soldiers often rise. Spring thunder doesn't strike, winter thunder doesn't hide, and soldiers hurt the country. There are also thunderstorms, and the ground shakes. In a word, winter thunder is a sign of natural and man-made disasters, and a warning from heaven to punish human greed and evil. In fact, many times it is a punishment warning for the emperor's unkindness and inaction.
