There is a folk custom of "curing in winter and storing it to keep out the cold". After a light snow, the temperature plummeted and the weather became dry, which was a good time to process bacon.

Extended data:

Light snow solar terms and light snow solar terms have different meanings. Light snow refers to the period when the climate is not cold and the precipitation is not high. Light snow refers to a small amount of snow. In fact, the solar term with the largest snowfall in a year is either light snow or heavy snow. Take the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as an example. The term for the biggest snowfall in a year is not "light snow" or "heavy snow", nor "slight cold" or "severe cold", but the period from beginning of spring to "spring rain".

The ancients called this solar term "light snow" because "snow" is the product of cold water vapor, representing cold and precipitation. This solar term is not deep and there is not much precipitation, so it is called "light snow". The name "light snow" is a metaphor, which reflects the climate change of this solar term, with active cold current and increased precipitation, rather than a small amount of snowfall in this solar term.

Light snow and light snow in the weather forecast are not the same concept. Light snow is a solar term reflecting precipitation and temperature. The arrival of this solar term means that the weather will gradually get colder and the precipitation will gradually increase.
