Snowy

Heavy snow is the third solar term in winter, which marks the beginning of the mid-winter season. At this time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the possibility of snow is greatly increased. Wang, a meteorologist from China Weather Network, said that during the heavy snow all the year round, the weather in most parts of the north was cold and cold air activities became more and more frequent. Northeast China, northern Xinjiang, and eastern northwest China need to pay attention to prevent strong winds and snowfall. Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, southwestern Shaanxi, Sichuan, Chongqing and other places need to be alert to the influence of low visibility weather such as fog or haze; When precipitation strikes in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guizhou and other places, the weather is relatively wet and cold, so we should also do a good job of keeping warm and cold.

China Weather Network counted the snowfall data of provincial capitals from 195 1 to 20 19. In the heavy snow season, the average snowfall days in Urumqi can reach 8 days, and the probability of encountering snow exceeds 50%. The probability of encountering snow in Harbin and Changchun is about 30%. Compared with the Light Snow Festival, the probability of encountering snow in these cities has increased. In addition, the probability of snowfall in Shenyang, Xining, Hohhot, Xi and Zhengzhou is 120%.

In the heavy snow season every year, the average snow depth in some parts of northern China can reach more than 3 cm. Among the provincial capitals, Urumqi is the highest, reaching 10. 1 cm. The average snow depth in Harbin and Changchun is also 3-3.7 cm. Judging from the maximum snow depth, more than 40 cm of snow appeared in Urumqi and Harbin during the heavy snow festival.

Generally speaking, if you want to enjoy the snow in the snowy solar terms, you can try your luck in Xinjiang or Northeast China, where there is a high probability of encountering snow and enjoying "Yushu Qionghua" and "Snow Silent World White".

Introduction of heavy snow custom

Drink sweet potato porridge.

In Lubei, there is a saying that "drive the wheel to the door and drink red sticky porridge", which means that if it is cold, you will not stop visiting and only drink warm sweet potato porridge at home.

Tangier

There is a folk song: "sugar man, take your time, a small class is followed by a big class."
