Major Snow

The Major Snow falls on December 6, 7 or 8. Different from the Light Snow, which signifies only a sprinkling of snow, there is sustained heavy snowfall during the Major Snow, and temperatures drop significantly. The general decline of precipitation makes the climate fairly dry nationwide.

The weather during the Major Snow usually includes heavy snow, sleet, rime and haze, transforming North China into a land of ice and snow.

Children love to make snowballs, have snowball fights, and ski in the open air. Those sports are good for blood circulation to keep the body warm.
