What's the difference between light snow and slight cold and severe cold?

Light snow and heavy snow are the second and third solar terms in winter, while slight cold and severe cold are the fifth and sixth solar terms in winter, which are before and after the winter solstice solar terms respectively. Light snow and heavy snow are solar terms indicating climate change and precipitation, while slight cold and severe cold are solar terms indicating the degree of cold. It's already nine o'clock when it's light cold, and the temperature will be lower than when it's light snow.

After the heavy snow comes the winter solstice solar term, after the winter solstice solar term comes the slight cold, and then the great cold. The solar term begins from the winter solstice, and winter officially enters the coldest period. We call this period "nine cold days", and one * * * counts as nine * * 8 1 day. After the "Nine Cold" is over, it will usher in the spring when the temperature rises and everything recovers.

Which is colder, heavy snow or slight cold?

In terms of solar terms, the slight cold solar terms should be even colder.

Slight cold is the fifth solar term in winter, indicating that the weather is cold, but it has not yet reached its limit; Heavy snow is the third solar term in winter, which indicates that the temperature will snow further, which marks the beginning of winter festivals.

The solar term of heavy snow has not passed the winter solstice, nor has it entered nine. After the winter solstice solar term, the slight cold solar term will enter 39 days in 29 days, so the slight cold is relatively cold, close to the deep winter solar term.
