Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A ground blizzard occurs when strong winds pick up and blow around existing snow on the ground, reducing visibility and causing hazardous travel conditions. A true blizzard involves falling and blowing snow with sustained winds of at least 35 mph and visibility reduced to a quarter mile or less for at least three hours. A snow squall is a brief but intense period of heavy snowfall typically associated with a cold front, and a snow flurry is a light and brief period of snowfall.
