What's the difference between light snow and heavy snow?

1, heavy snow and light snow are both one of the 20 solar terms, but they appear at different times and have different astronomical positions. Although they are all winter solar terms, the climate is different, so we must distinguish them clearly.

2, light snow solar terms, generally in the annual165438+1October 22nd or 23rd, the sun reached 240 degrees, at this time, the temperature began to slowly drop to zero degrees Celsius, and snowfall began, but the amount of snow was not large and the ground was not very cold, so it snowed.

3. Heavy snow solar terms, generally on February 7 or 8, every year, when the sun reaches 255 degrees, heavy snow solar terms mean that the weather is colder, the possibility of snowfall is greater than that of light snow, and the temperature drops to zero degrees Celsius and below. At this time, it is very easy to accumulate snowfall on the ground.

4. So there are obvious differences between light snow solar terms and heavy snow solar terms, but these two solar terms are very close in time, so people should pay attention to keep warm to prevent illness.
