What does the phrase "Three-nine-three feet of snow, a bumper harvest next year" mean? Will it be cold this winter?

Before you know it, it will be three or nine days tomorrow. Today, I watched the weather forecast. There seems to be some lack of "chill" in the three or nine days of 2022, because on the whole, most areas in the north are sunny, and some areas in the south have rainfall, but with the rising temperature, on the whole, this year will not be too cold.

As the old saying goes, "it will not be a good year if it is cold or not." As the coldest time of the year, rising temperature instead of cooling down and snowing will make people worry that abnormal climate will affect next year's harvest, and the Spring Festival is coming soon. If the temperature continues to rise, this winter will definitely be a warm winter.

What does the phrase "Three-nine-three feet of snow, a bumper harvest next year" mean? Literally, this proverb means that if it snows three feet on March 9, next year will be a bumper harvest year.

Sanjiu is the third "nine" in a few days. Generally, March 9th is a slight cold solar term. There is a folk saying that "slight cold and severe cold freeze into a ball", which means that the temperature of slight cold and severe cold is very low. At this time, no matter what is put together, it will freeze into a ball. The side also reflects that the slight cold solar terms are very cold, and Sanjiu is in the slight cold solar terms, which is naturally very cold.

The normal climate for three or nine days is to cool down and snow, so it is very normal to snow on three or nine days, and the statement that "it snows three feet" is actually exaggerated. Three feet is one meter now, and the next meter of snow is obviously unrealistic, so this "three feet of snow" is indeed somewhat exaggerated.

So why does it snow for three or nine days in a row, and next year's crops will be bumper? First of all, the snow on March 9 can protect the wintering crops from wintering. Rain and snow often occur in winter, and may be accompanied by strong winds or strong cold air. These extreme climate changes will cause different degrees of damage to overwintering crops, such as frostbite or freezing to death. But if there is enough snow, these bad situations can basically be avoided. Because the snow is warm, the wind can't blow in, and it can't freeze through the heavy snow, so it can snow on March 9.

Secondly, it snows for three or nine days in a row to solve the problem of "spring drought" next year. As the old saying goes, "Spring rain is as expensive as oil". In the past, without irrigation, people really depended on the weather for food. If there is much rain during spring ploughing, the normal growth of grain can be well guaranteed. If there is little rain, it will lead to malnutrition of seedlings, not to mention a bumper harvest.

These problems can be solved by snowfall in winter. Snow accumulated in winter can protect the original water in the soil from evaporation, and at the same time, it can be turned into water to irrigate the land in spring. With sufficient water and a good grain foundation, there will be a bumper harvest in autumn.

Finally, the snowfall on March 9 can protect the soil well. Every winter, many pests and bacteria lurk in the soil for protection. When next spring comes, they will come out to destroy the soil safety. If the temperature is low in winter, bacteria and pests in these soils can freeze to death, thus protecting soil safety and ensuring a bumper harvest.

So is it cold this winter? Judging from the current situation, the probability of cold this winter is relatively low, because it has really entered winter since winter, and there was only one cold air in September. Although there was a lot of snowfall at that time, it was not enough to change the winter climate.

Then on February 9, the temperature began to rise, and the cold air predicted several times did not arrive. I watched the weather forecast for three or nine days recently. Although cold air appeared in some places, it was short-lived and had no big impact. The coldest day is three or nine days. If it is not cold for three days and nine days, this winter is definitely warm, so it should not be too cold.

Recently, experts suggested that there may be extreme weather in Spring Festival travel rush this year, that is, heavy snowfall and strong cooling weather. Judging from the current situation, this cold air has not yet formed. If it is formed, the Spring Festival may become very cold this year. Whether it is cold all winter depends on the weather performance after the strong cold air.
