When was the light snow in 22 years?

The light snow solar term in 2022 is Gregorian calendar165438+1October 22 16: 20, 18 seconds, which falls on the Tuesday of the lunar calendar1October 29.

"Light Snow" is a festival that reflects weather phenomena. "Light snow refers to the second half of the solar calendar 1 1 and the second half of the lunar calendar in October. There is little snow, and there is no snow on the ground, which is the original meaning of Xiaoxue solar terms. At this time, people are very lively, and they are going to spend the New Year's holiday. Every household is full of excitement and happiness by killing pigs and sheep.

The ancient book "Qunfangpu" said: "The light snow is cold and it will snow, but the ground is cold and the snow is not big." That is to say, due to the cold weather, the form of precipitation changes from rain to snow, but at this time, because the ground is not very cold, the number of snows is small and the amount of snow is not large, so it is called light snow. So light snow indicates the beginning time and degree of snowfall. Light snow, like rain and Grain Rain, is a solar term that directly reflects precipitation.

? The origin of light snow:

The origin of light snow is a detailed description of the state that rain turns into snow, including the change that we condense water into snow and give it a unique name. The snowfall during this period is actually relatively small, and it usually snows at night. Xiao Jingwei said, "After the 15th (beginning of winter), the bucket refers to the sea, and it is light snow. The sky and the earth are overcast, the temperature is rainy, and the cold is snowy. At that time, those who talked less were not cold and the snow was not heavy. "

The light snow solar term is a climate concept, which is also described in the twenty-four solar terms: "It rained in mid-October, and the cold was thin, so it condensed into snow. Little words are not prosperous. " In the middle and late October of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting colder, and the average first snow period in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is basically the same as the Light Snow Festival. At this time, although it has begun to snow, the amount of snow is generally small, and the night is frozen and the day turns.
