——According to the old almanac, the light snow in 2020 will start on November 22 of the new calendar (the eighth day of the tenth month of the lunar calendar).
Xiaoxue is the 20th of the 24 solar terms. On November 22 or 23, the sun reaches 240° of ecliptic longitude, which is called the Minor Snow solar term. At this time, the sun is at declination -20°16'. The daylight time in Beijing is only 9 hours and 49 minutes, and the sun's altitude at noon is only 29°50'.
When the Minor Snow solar term begins, northwest winds start to become frequent in large parts of China, and the temperature drops, gradually falling below 0℃, but the ground is not yet too cold. Although it begins to snow, the amount of snow is not large, so it is called Minor Snow.
At this time, the yin energy decreases and the yang energy increases, causing the heaven and earth to be blocked, yin and yang to be out of communication, all things to lose their vitality, the heaven and earth are closed and the severe winter begins.
The first snow will appear in areas north of the Yellow River, reminding people to keep warm.
