Snow is not frozen, but it is cold in spring.

Refers to the period of heavy snow and solar terms.

If it doesn't get cold, it will be particularly dry next year. Speaking of heavy snow, it's winter now, and it should be very cold, but it's not cold when it's cold, or the temperature is higher than this time in previous years, indicating that the cold time this winter has been postponed. By the end of last spring, the weather should have warmed up. As a result, the wheat seedlings in the field and the buds of various plants in spring were frozen because of the delay of cold time.

I remember a year after the first month, there was another heavy snow, which damaged many crops and reduced production that year. In fact, these proverbs include about heavy snow, not what weather phenomena will happen on the day of solar terms, such as heavy snow under solar terms, but the weather that will happen with high probability during solar terms.

Heavy snow is not cold, and precipitation is scarce, which will easily lead to drought in the coming spring, which is not good for crop growth, and will slow down crop growth, resulting in reduced grain production in that year.
