What does it mean to have so much snow on the earth?

When there is so much snow in the world, it means the world is covered with snow.

Description:

This sentence describes the heavy snow season. Heavy snow is one of the 24 solar terms, marking the beginning of the mid-winter season. At this time, the temperature gradually decreased, the weather gradually became cold, and the snow began to increase. In this sentence, when there is so much snow in the world, it means that at this moment, it is a snowy scene, giving people a pure and beautiful feeling.

Meteorological changes:

"Heavy snow" is a solar term reflecting the climate characteristics. The characteristics of heavy snow solar terms are that the temperature drops obviously compared with autumn and early winter, and the precipitation increases. During the heavy snow season, most parts of China have entered the cold winter, and the minimum temperature in some parts of the north has dropped to 0℃ or below.

Cold and warm air in areas where strong cold air fronts meet, precipitation (rain or snow) increases. Meteorology refers to the condensation of water vapor falling from the sky to the ground, such as rain, snow and hail, as "precipitation".

Agricultural activities:

Due to the great difference in climate characteristics between the north and the south of China, the main agricultural activities in the north and south are also different accordingly. In winter, the northern region is covered with snow, so it is almost impossible to grow crops. At this time, there is little field management in the northern region, which is the slack season. Wheat, rape and other crops are still growing slowly in southern China, so it is very important to strengthen the field management of spring flowers.

Traditional customs of heavy snow:

1, heavy snow bacon

There is a saying called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles", and one of the customs of heavy snow solar terms is bacon. Every household should be busy pickling "salty goods" as soon as the solar term of heavy snow arrives. Whether it is poultry or seafood, fresh raw materials are processed into delicious food by traditional methods to welcome the coming New Year.

2. Watch rivers and fish.

In the snowy season, there is a natural landscape of "thousands of miles frozen, Wan Li snows" in the north, and a charming picture of "snowflakes flying and white" in the south. In the snowy solar term, because the temperature is getting lower and lower, many rivers have gradually frozen, and people can enjoy the scenery of interception on the shore. At the same time, the heavy snow season is also a good time to catch mullet.

3, heavy snow tonic

Snowy days are a good time to "tonic", but don't blindly supplement nutritious food. Eat different foods according to the region and the weather. Duck and fish are suitable for warming up in places where the south of the Yangtze River is not too cold. The cold climate in the north increases the ability to keep out the cold.
