Meteorological changes of solar terms in heavy snow
During the heavy snow season, most parts of China have entered winter, and the minimum temperature has dropped to 0℃ or below. In areas where cold air meets warm air at the front of strong cold air, there will be heavy snow or even blizzard. At this time, snow has gradually accumulated in the Yellow River basin, and in the farther north, it is snowing heavily.
In fact, the solar term with the heaviest snow in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River and its vicinity is neither "light snow and heavy snow" nor "slight cold and severe cold" (because the temperature was low at that time and there was less water vapor in the atmosphere), but it rained in late February. For example, on February 25th 1959 and February 23rd 1979 in Beijing, the maximum snow depth reached the record of 24cm. The reason is similar to "light snow is bigger than heavy snow". That is, in late February, the coldest period of the year has passed, and the warm air in the south began to be active in early spring, and the water vapor began to be rich. At this time, the cold air in the north is still strong and confrontational, and the warm air flow rises strongly and continuously on the back of the dense cold air flow, which may lead to heavy snow.
Traditional customs of solar terms in heavy snow
Bacon, snowball fights, snow scenery appreciation and tonic are all folk customs of heavy snow and solar terms. There is a saying in old Nanjing called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". At this time, pickled meat, sausages, salted fish and other pickled products will be hung on the door and window sill of every household, forming a beautiful scenery. If it coincides with heavy snow, people will be keen to have snowball fights and enjoy the snow scene in the ice and snow.
Heavy snow cured meat
There is a saying in old Nanjing called "light snow pickles, heavy snow pickles". Every household is busy pickling "salty goods" as soon as the solar term of heavy snow arrives. Add star anise, cinnamon, pepper, sugar, etc. Go to the big salt and fry in the pot. After the fried salt and pepper are completely cooled, they are coated on the inside and outside of fish, meat and poultry, and rubbed repeatedly until the color of the meat turns from fresh to dark and the surface oozes liquid. Then put the meat with the remaining salt in the jar, press it with stones, put it in a cool and backlit place, take it out after half a month, add water to the pot to boil the marinade, and skim off the grease.
The heavy snow closed the river.
"Light snow seals the land and heavy snow seals the river". In the north, there is a natural landscape of "thousands of miles frozen, Wan Li snowing". In the south, there is also a charming picture of "snowflakes dancing and white clothes wrapped". In the solar term of heavy snow, the ice in the river freezes, and people can skate and play as much as they like.
