The characteristics of heavy snow solar terms are very simple.

Heavy snow solar terms are characterized by a significant drop in temperature and an increase in precipitation.

During the heavy snow season, most parts of China have entered winter, and the minimum temperature has dropped to 0℃ or below. In areas where cold air meets warm air at the front of strong cold air, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard.

At this time, snow has gradually accumulated in the Yellow River basin, and in the farther north, it is snowing heavily. In fact, the solar term with the heaviest snow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and its vicinity is neither "light snow and heavy snow" nor "slight cold and severe cold", but a solar term that rains in late February.

The origin of heavy snow solar terms:

As the ancients said, great men flourished and snow flourished here. At this time of heavy snow, it often falls heavily and widely, so it is called heavy snow.

Heavy snow is 2 1 of the 24 solar terms and the third solar term in winter. Heavy snow, fingers crossed, the sun reaches 255 degrees of the yellow meridian, and the node time is February 6-8, 65438. Like light snow, rain, Grain Rain and Xiaoman, heavy snow is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation. The arrival of heavy snow in solar terms means that the weather will get colder and colder and the precipitation will gradually increase. The most common solar terms in heavy snow are cooling, rain or snow.
