How do you say that light snow is warm and cold at first?

The saying that Xiaoxue is warm and peaceful is that it will be sunny on that day, "warm" in winter, rainy on that day and "cold" in winter. Because there is more rain and snow in winter, it is often cold, but it will be warmer on sunny days.

In fact, many places don't want it to be sunny that day, which is not a good sign. For example, the agricultural proverb "Light snow basks in the sun, and it will be warm this winter" means that light snow is sunny, so it will be warm in winter, so it will be warm in winter.

However, "whether it is cold or not, it is not a good year." It is comfortable to be warm in winter, but pests are not easy to freeze to death. In this way, the pests and diseases will be serious in the second year, which will easily lead to a reduction in grain production.

There is also a similar agricultural proverb, "Light snow will see the sun, and there will be no steamed bread in the coming year", which also means that light snow will see the sun and there will be no steamed bread to eat in the coming year, implying that the crop harvest is not good and the grain output is low.
