What’s the joke about southerners holding umbrellas when it snows?

It has appeared in many places in our country recently. Strong winds and snowfall, the weather temperature also dropped sharply, especially in the beginning of 2018. The editor thinks that this is a good momentum for the auspicious snow to herald a good year! However, southerners have been arguing about the topic of using umbrellas in the snow.

So, here comes the question: Do you need to hold an umbrella when going out on a snowy day? On the Internet, friends from the south and friends from the north are arguing over each other——

What’s the end? Are the southerners right or the northerners right? Here comes the authoritative explanation from experts! Whether to hold an umbrella or not depends on whether the snow is "dry snow" or "wet snow". If it's "dry snow", you don't need to hold an umbrella; on the contrary, if it's "wet snow", you need to hold an umbrella when you go out!

Why do southerners use umbrellas when it snows

In the past few days, it has snowed in many cities in the south. On the streets, citizens held umbrellas when traveling. "It's snowing so lightly and you still hold an umbrella. So what should you do when it snows in the north? If you go to the north, no matter how heavy the snow is, you'll hardly see anyone going out to hold an umbrella!" On the Internet, there are questions about whether it's snowing or not. Holding an umbrella, many northerners lamented.

Netizen "Hu Xuanxuan" said in surprise: "Of course you have to hold an umbrella when it snows, wouldn't it just be water when it falls on you?"

Netizen "The Most Beautiful Linghua" explained: "As a Northeasterner, I have been to the south, and now I understand. Snow in the south is like rain. It will melt in a while, and it will be very wet and cold, so use an umbrella. Snow in the north will not melt. Snow is just snow. . Just pat it on your body and it will fall off.”

In fact, northerners are also full of surprise when they see southerners holding umbrellas in the snow. Netizen Langyi 2297 said: "When I saw it snowing in the south and I had to hold an umbrella, my first thought was that it was too pretentious. We thought we were acting in TV. Later I found out that there is a truth to it."

The snow in the north and the south also means different ways of spending the winter

Careful southerners have discovered that the issue of whether people in the north and the south use umbrellas when facing snow has a lot to do with snow.

It is said that the snow in the south is different from the snow in the north. The snow in the south has small crystals and melts easily when it falls to the ground. In addition, it is not white enough and is not as white as the snow in the north. The snow in the north has a different scenery. The heavy snow falls calmly on the bare tree trunks, ground, and hills, making it look very desolate, spectacular, and majestic. Snow crystals are large and white and do not melt easily.

A comparison picture circulating on the Internet vividly expresses how northerners and southerners spend the winter. I saw southerners hiding in thick quilts, wearing big hats, holding hot water bottles, shivering from the cold. In comparison, northerners look much smarter: wearing single clothes and single pants, sitting in a heated room, and eating ice cream.

As for the difference in cold winter between the north and the south, there is also an explanation circulating on the Internet: the north has cold skin and the south has frozen bones. To use an analogy, the cold in the north is a physical attack, just wear thicker clothes; while the cooling in the south is a magical attack, no matter how much clothes you wear, it is useless, you have to be resistant! Some netizens hit the nail on the head, pointing out the differences between the north and the south. : "The north has high anti-freeze devices, and the south has high anti-freeze properties." Southerners spend the winter developing "anti-freeze properties"

The north and south are divided by the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River. The north implements central heating, while the south mainly uses air conditioners or electric heaters for heating in winter.

Netizen "Xiaolei sir" has lived in both the south and the north, and has deep feelings. "It is normal to rain in the south in winter. In the same season in the north and south, the plants in the entire city in the south still look... It’s full of life, but it’s a bit cold when it rains. Although the scenery in the north is mostly gray and white, it’s dry and crisp.” Netizen “Xinjie Believe What” complained: “In the winter in the south, the cold is not cold. , It’s really cold when it’s wet!”

However, when it comes to anti-freeze ability, netizens from the north may not be as good as those from the south. There was once a joke about a ruptured heating pipe in a certain road section of a northern city, causing the indoor temperature of residents to drop to 17 degrees Celsius. They all said they couldn't stand it because it was too cold.

In response to this, a southern netizen "Shirley" lamented, "It turns out that children in the south are the most frost-resistant!" Regarding the cold in the south, some netizens also created a cold joke based on the weather: I made a special trip today. I boiled a pot of water and made a cup of hot black tea. It was too hot, so I put it aside to scroll through Weibo. After a few posts, I picked up the tea cup again - OMG, it’s already iced black tea!

Southern Netizen To sum up, the heating method "basically relies on shaking". How to keep warm when the weather is cold? Some Weibo netizens summarized the "heating method in the south in winter": On days without heating, we can burn fires to keep warm; if it is not possible, we can use coal stoves to keep warm; if not, we can use electricity Yes, electric blankets can also be used; of course, the best thing is to huddle together for warmth.

It’s still drizzle, and netizens have more clever ways to keep out the cold.

Netizen "Smiling Sunflower" is armed to the teeth to fight the winter - footbath + hand warmer + large cotton pants + cotton slippers, an electric blanket under his buttocks, and a blanket covering his body; however, Some people also expressed helplessness about the cold, "rambling" and roaring: When the wind blows, you basically have to rely on shivering to keep warm, okay? It's too cold and you don't want to review, okay?

In addition to ridicule, some netizens also Let me share some more reliable tips to keep out the cold, such as eating more hot foods such as mutton and beef, keeping your feet warm in winter, and insisting on soaking your feet in hot water every day, which will bring heat throughout the body.
