Snow is a season that reflects the weather phenomena. Although the festival is called "Xiaoxue", it is not necessarily related to the meteorological meaning of Xiaoxue. The snow festival reflects the climate characteristics, during the cold wave and cold air activity is generally more frequent, but not necessarily snow. "Little snow does not plow the land, big snow does not work the boat." After the start of winter, the temperature gradually decreases, people feel the slightest chill and have to add clothes to keep warm.

The arrival of snow means that northern China has begun to enter the frozen season. The moon order seventy-two wait for a collection of explanation" said: "October in the middle of the rain and for the cold thin, so condensed for the snow. Smaller is not yet full of words." The ancient book "qunfang spectrum" said: "small snow gas cold and will snow carry on, the ground is not very cold and snow is not big."

Small snow festival due to the cold weather, precipitation form from rain to snow, but at this time due to the "ground cold is not very" so the amount of snow is not big, so called small snow.

The weather gradually becomes colder during this period, and the average period of first snow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River basically coincides with the Snow Festival.

If the cold air force is stronger, warm and humid air flow is more active, it is also possible to snow.
