Is heavy snow the solar term with the largest snowfall?

Heavy snow is not the solar term with the largest snowfall.

Snow solar term is a climate concept, which represents the climate characteristics during the snow solar term, namely temperature and precipitation. The significance of heavy snow in solar terms is different from that in weather forecast.

In fact, the snow in heavy snow solar terms is often not as big as that in light snow solar terms, and the solar terms with the largest amount of snow in the whole year are not in light snow and heavy snow solar terms. For example, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and its vicinity, the solar term with the largest snowfall in the whole year is neither "light snow nor heavy snow" nor "slight cold nor severe cold", but "rain" in spring.
