Hi ChenbinVip,
  Q* J" B! s8 [' o
' P- }) h% m' `I looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too.

But the idea in these two statements is very clear in and of itself, isn't it? Here a few other words or phrases can take the place of "pick up" without chaning its meaning, like "see, witness" or "gain" or even "harvest", but maybe "pick up" is a bit more vivid because it conjours up the image of a snowplough at work. Don't you think so?

The wind picked up soon after we left the station; or This is when the rain picked up.风火雨作为施动主语，词典有义项：增强等意思。但上面的例句有地点作为施动主语，用增强等意思，好像也不太合适
