Hard to see snow hitting on the red lanterns: 15℃ .
We Chinese have the customs of watching moon, guessing lantern riddles and eating rice dumplings on lunar January 15th , the Lantern Festival. As the old saying says ,“if clouds covers the noon on lunar August 15th , then snow will hit the lanterns on lunar January 15th ”, that is to say if it is cloudy on Mid-Autumn Day then it will be snowy on the Lantern Festival the next year.But this old saying haven’t been confirmed by the meteorology agency. Though it was cloudy on last Mid-Autumn Day, there is not snow but sunny on this Lantern Festival.
