Light snow does not see snow.

Rural proverb "light snow does not see snow, long-term workers rest in the coming year."

Proverbs about rural weather are widely circulated. There are many classic sentences in natural phenomena such as wind, rain, snow and thunder. For example, when I was a child, I often heard adults say that "there is no snow in the light snow, and it is snowing all over the sky", which means that if it doesn't snow on the day of "light snow", it will definitely snow on the day of "heavy snow". Another proverb about snow is "A light snow can't see the snow, so take a long vacation next year".

There is no snow in the light snow, so we will have a long rest time next year, which means that the solar term "light snow" has arrived. If it doesn't snow this day, there may be drought or too much rain next year This is just a summary of previous experience. After observing the astronomical phenomena for a long time, the conclusion is only empirical and has no actual scientific basis. In other words, this statement is based on causal judgment. Because of the phenomenon of light snow and no snow, referring to the previous weather changes, it is estimated that the weather will be unstable next year, either drought or too much rain.

They can be said to be a part of folk culture, which embodies the wisdom of predecessors and has some truth, but don't be overly superstitious.
