What Happens During A Blizzard?

Blizzards bring about strong winds in the cold weather. These winds could blow up houses, damage property and cause power lines to collapse causing people to go without power and warmth. Communication systems could also go down or be interfered with, disrupting emergency communication.

What happens during a snow blizzard?

A blizzard is a severe snowstorm defined by the strength of the winds rather than the amount of snow it brings. With wind speeds at or above 35mph, blizzards create blowing snow conditions, where snow on the ground is picked up by the wind, causing reduced visibility and the accumulation of snowdrifts.
