As the saying goes in rural areas, "When the snow falls, the spring will be cold to the end." This spring will be so cold that we cry!

I woke up this morning and picked up my phone. A message popped up on my phone with a "ding dong" sound. I took a look at it out of habit. It turned out to be a warning message about low temperature, rain, snow and freezing. It is expected that There was a rain and snow event in the Dabie Mountains and along the Yangtze River from the 22nd to the 23rd. Among them, heavy snowfall and local blizzards occurred in the southern part of the Yangtze River on the 22nd. The lowest temperature on the morning of the 24th was -6℃ to -8℃ in the Dabie Mountains and Wannan, and north of the Huaihe River - 3℃ to -1℃, others -5℃ to -3℃. Pay attention to cold protection and heat preservation measures. Now that the rainy season has passed, the temperature should have climbed. At this time, it snowed one after another and the temperature dropped below 0℃. , not only are people unable to eat, they are suffering from colds and fevers, and even the crops in the fields cannot come. Is the "late spring cold" a certainty?

We old farmers are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, but we are afraid of unfavorable weather. Although most people go out to work, the land at home is also planted with crops. The wheat has turned green and grown, and the peas have also stretched out their tentacles. , there are also peach trees and cherry trees that have just sprouted. The sudden arrival of rain and snow will cause crop production to be reduced, especially the vegetables in the greenhouse. If a heavy snow comes and the greenhouse collapses, the consequences will be disastrous. This "eight-nine" "There's a blizzard in the weather, so what's the sign?" The ancients did not have weather forecasts, so how did they make conclusions? Let’s see what the saying goes.

1. During the rainy season, ice hangs on the curtains, and there is still late spring cold in March

This saying means that during the rainy season, ice ridges freeze under the eaves, then Late spring cold will occur in March. We know that the rain solar term is already the second solar term in spring. At this time, the temperature rises. Because the cold air is still unwilling to be outdone, it moves south everywhere. The cold and warm air flows intersect to form rain, which is very harmful to crops. Importantly, as the saying goes, "Spring rain is as precious as oil", so if it rains at the right time, it is a sign of a good harvest.

However, when it snows heavily during the rainy season, the temperature is quite cold. Snowflakes accumulate and melt into water after the sun comes out. The temperature is low in the morning and evening, and there are ice edges everywhere under the eaves. In March, the ice and snow are still there. It will not leave, that is the so-called "late spring cold", which is very detrimental to crop growth, and crop yield reduction is inevitable. This is also what the ancients were most afraid of. It heralds the coming of disaster years. After all, at that time, all people relied on planting. Living on the ground means hunger and hardship.

2. When the snow falls eight or nine, the spring will be cold to the end

This saying means that if heavy snowfall occurs at the beginning of "eight or nine", the temperature will be very cold throughout the spring. Because spring starts from the beginning of spring and ends with Grain Rain, it only lasts for more than two months, and the winter Jiujiu song goes like this: "The river opens in seventy-nine, the wild geese come in eighty-nine, the ninety-nine plus one nine, and the cattle are everywhere."

It can be seen from here that the swallows have flown back during the "Eight-Nine" period, which means that the temperature has risen and the earth is thriving, creating a beautiful scene of spring.

But in 1989, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and the rest of the spring was basically spent in severe cold weather. Not only the human body was prone to illness, but also crops would be damaged by freezing. People need to add clothes in time to keep out the cold, and at the same time take measures to keep crops warm to protect them from freezing damage.

3. Rain falls and snow falls, and it is dark and cold until Grain Rain

This proverb means that during the rainy season, snowflakes fall from the sky and the earth, so that for the next period of time, The weather will be gloomy and cold until the Grain Rain solar term. We know that the Grain Rain solar term is the last solar term in spring. After the Grain Rain solar term, summer will begin, which means that spring will be spent in severe cold.

Spring is originally dry and rainless. If rain and snow flood in spring, the rain will be more frequent in summer, because the origin of the Grain Rain solar term is that rainfall increases and water grows, so waterlogging must be done in advance at this time. Be prepared to prevent floods from swamping crops and reducing crop yields, which was what the ancients were most worried about.

In short, rain and snow are coming again, is it certain that the "spring cold" will come? These common sayings tell us that it will not be warm this spring. We should take measures to keep warm to avoid colds and colds. At the same time, we should also take timely measures to protect crops from freezing damage and resist the invasion of "late spring cold".
