Light snow thunders in solar terms.

During the light snow solar term, which of the following natural phenomena is not easy to see in most areas: thunder.

The customs in Xiao Xue are as follows.

1, cooking winter vegetables

The folk have always used the custom of pickling vegetables with light snow, mainly because in the past, living conditions were limited, and fresh vegetables were rarely eaten in winter, especially in the north, and ordinary people rarely ate expensive fresh vegetables in cold winter.

As a result, people began to pickle some vegetables before and after the light snow and put them in late winter. Although many fresh vegetables can be bought in winter, many families still keep the habit of pickling vegetables.

Step 2 cook bacon

As the saying goes, "winter wax hides the wind, and winter is the season to eat bacon and sausage." Before and after the light snow, the weather became cold, and the temperature was more suitable for processing bacon and sausage.

At this time, people often buy dozens of pounds of pork, half of which are made into bacon and half of which are made into sausages, and hang them in the front yard, waiting for time to turn them into winter delicacies. Sausages are very popular in both north and south. Sharing homemade sausages can be made in the light snow season.

Light snow solar terms:

1, the light snow is all over the sky, and the coming year will be rich.

Its literal meaning is also very simple, saying that if there is heavy snow in the light snow solar term, then the next year will be a bumper harvest year. I believe many people have heard of this proverb. For ancient farmers, they all look forward to the light snow solar terms.

There are three main reasons for this. First, if it snows, the light snow solar terms will be in line with the solar terms, indicating that the weather will be favorable next year and the grain will usher in a bumper harvest.

2, light snow does not see snow, and long work breaks in the coming year.

This is a classic saying circulating in the northern region, because in the vast northern region, it should have snowed by the time of the light snow solar term, and it is already a scene of ice and snow.

But if the light snow solar term has arrived, we haven't seen the next snow yet. Then it indicates that the weather is abnormal this winter, and there may be a big drought and flood disaster next year. Even if crops are planted, the yield is not high.

This proverb also reflects that farmers' friends are looking forward to snow at the Light Snow Festival. Even if the light snow festival can't last, it's good to snow in front of it. However, after the winter this year, many areas in the north were affected by the cold wave, resulting in heavy snow, which also indicates that next year will be a bumper harvest year.

3, light snow sees the sky, there is rain.

"Blue sky" refers to the blue sky. This proverb means that the weather is sunny in the light snow solar term, so there will be a lot of rain (snow) in winter, which will last until the end of the year, that is to say, there will be more rain (snow) before the Chinese New Year.
