What is light snow?
Light snow is a solar term reflecting precipitation and temperature, and it is a solar term with high frequency of cold wave and strong cold air activity. The arrival of the light snow solar term means that the weather is getting colder and colder and the precipitation is gradually increasing. "Snow" is the product of cold weather, so "light snow" is used to describe the climate characteristics of this solar term "the climate is not deep and the precipitation is not heavy".
The "light snow" solar term reflects the changing trend of temperature and precipitation, and does not mean that there is a small amount of snow under this solar term. The solar term "light snow" is not necessarily related to the "light snow" in the weather. During the light snow solar term, a relatively stable meridional circulation has been established in East Asia, and low pressure or trough often appears in Siberia. When moving eastward, there will be a wide range of cold air going south, which will bring a wide range of strong winds and cool weather.
