What do you say about the heavy snow in early winter?

If it rains or snows in early winter, there will be a lot of rain and snow all winter, and the weather in winter will be very cold.

The proverb says, "If I am not afraid of the Double Ninth Festival and thirteen rains, I am afraid that it will be sunny at the beginning of winter." It often rains and snows, air quality improves, bacteria freeze to death, pests in crop fields can't survive at low temperature, and with abundant rain and snow, the next year is bound to be a bumper year.

In fact, the beginning of winter mentioned in this sentence does not only refer to the beginning of the winter solar term. But refers to the period before and after beginning of winter. Through the weather changes during this period, we can predict the weather for the whole winter. In short, farmers don't like "sunny days in beginning of winter".
