Heavy snow, the second1solar term in the twenty-four solar terms, and the solar calendar1February 6-8, when the sun reaches 255, it enters the festival. The arrival of heavy snow in solar terms means that the weather will get colder and colder, and the possibility of snow will greatly increase.

People often say that "snow will bring a good harvest". In severe winter, snow covers the earth, so that the temperature around the ground and crops will not drop very low because of the cold current, and winter crops create a good wintering environment. When the snow melts, the soil moisture content is increased to meet the needs of crop growth in spring. The content of nitride in snow water is five times that of ordinary rain water, which has a certain effect on fertile fields. There is an agricultural proverb called "wheat covers three quilts this year and sleeps with steamed bread next year."
