The traditional Chinese lunar calendar divides the year into 24 solar terms. 

Minor Snow, or Xiaoxue (Chinese: 小雪), the 20th solar term of the year, begins this year on Nov 22 and ends on Dec 6.

Minor Snow refers to the time when it starts to snow, mostly in China's northern areas, and the temperature continues to drop.
