What does the snow solar term mean?

1, the solar term of "heavy snow" usually falls on 65438+February 7 every year (there are also some years on the 6th or 8th). When the longitude of the sun reaches 255 degrees, it is one of the 24 solar terms. Heavy snow, as the name implies, has a large amount of snow. The ancients said: "The great man is prosperous, and the snow is prosperous here." At this time, it often snows heavily and widely, hence the name heavy snow.

2. The solar term of heavy snow generally falls on 65438+February 7th every year (6th or 8th in individual years), when the sun reaches 255 degrees of the Yellow Meridian. "Twenty-four solar terms" said: "At this time, the snow is abundant." Heavy snow means colder weather, and the possibility of snowfall is greater than that of light snow. This doesn't mean that there must be a lot of snowfall. On the contrary, after the heavy snow, the precipitation in various places has further decreased. The average precipitation in June 5438+February in Northeast China and North China is generally only a few millimeters, but less than 1 mm in Northwest China. When heavy snow and snow are classified according to snowfall, the snowfall is generally 5.0- 10 mm.

3. At this time, the lowest temperature in most parts of China has dropped to 0℃ or below. Often, in areas where cold and warm air meets strong cold air fronts, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard. It can be seen that the solar term of heavy snow indicates the beginning time of this period and the degree of heavy snow, and it is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation, just like the solar terms of light snow, rain and Grain Rain.
