What day is the first day of the eleventh lunar month in 2018? What are the customs for heavy snow?

Dates of heavy snow in 2018:
Friday, December 7, 2018 (the first day of the winter month in the Year of the Dog, 7 days before the big snow in 2018)
"Daxue" is the 21st solar term in the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar and the third solar term in winter, marking the official beginning of mid-winter. At that time, the sun reaches 255 degrees of ecliptic longitude. "Collected Explanations of the 72 Seasonal Changes" says: "Heavy snow happens in November, when the snow gets heavy." Heavy snow means that the weather is colder and the possibility of snowfall is greater than when it is light snow, but it does not mean that the amount of snowfall must be heavy.
What are the customs during heavy snow?
Eat sweet potato porridge <br /> After the heavy snow, the temperature gradually gets colder. People pay great attention to keeping warm both inside and outside the house, and put on winter clothes to prevent freezing and frostbite. There is a saying among the people in northern Shandong that "when the roller is against the door, people will just drink red sticky porridge", which means that when it is cold, people will no longer visit other people's homes, but just stay at home and drink warm sweet potato porridge.
Pickled meat during the Great Snow <br /> One of the customs during the Great Snow solar term is pickling meat. There is an old Nanjing saying, "Light snow pickles vegetables, heavy snow pickles meat." When the Great Snow season arrives, every household is busy making salty goods. Whether it is poultry or seafood, fresh ingredients are processed into fragrant delicacies using traditional production methods to welcome the upcoming New Year.
Watch the river closure
“Light snow covers the land, heavy snow covers the rivers”. In the north, there is the natural landscape of “thousands of miles of ice and tens of thousands of miles of snow drifting”, and in the south, there is also the charming picture of “snowflakes flying and the sky full of silver”. During the Big Snow season, the ice in the river freezes and people can enjoy skating and playing.
Snow tonic
“Mutton is a strong tonic in winter. You can even go to the mountains to hunt tigers.” The old Nanjing people love to eat lamb as a tonic during heavy snow. Mutton can dispel cold and nourish the body, replenish qi and strengthen deficiency, promote blood circulation, and enhance the ability to resist cold. Lamb can also increase digestive enzymes and aid digestion. Experts suggest that when eating mutton for tonic in winter, you can mix it with yam, wolfberry, etc. to make it more nutritious.
