Is it normal to snow in early spring?

It is normal. It may snow after beginning of spring.

The snow after beginning of spring is also called spring snow, and the snow after beginning of spring is not uncommon in the north. This is just a statement of solar terms in beginning of spring, which is more practical for the south of the Yangtze River. For the north, it's still winter, not yet spring, and it will be in late March.

Beginning of spring solar terms began, westerly jet, the southern branch of East Asia, began to weaken, and the winter climate was coming to an end. However, the intensity and location of the northern branch of westerly jet remain basically unchanged, the Mongolian cold high pressure and Aleutian low pressure are still relatively strong, and gale cooling is still the prevailing main weather, so there is still the possibility of snowfall under the action of cold air.

Will it snow after beginning of spring?

If the weather is always warm in early spring, if it suddenly snows or cools down due to cold current, it will be harmful to crops. When the seedlings can't stand the low temperature, they will wither and turn yellow. At this time, the farmland soil is too wet, and rainfall is accompanied by insufficient sunshine, which is not conducive to the flowering and pollination of fruit trees.

If the temperature is not high all the time in the spring, the crops have a certain cold resistance. At this time, snow covers the crops, which plays a role in cold resistance and heat preservation. After snow melting, it provides water for the crops, which is beneficial to the growth of spring ploughed crops. Most fruit trees have not yet entered the flowering and pollination period, and their adaptability to external environmental conditions is also strong.
