Blizzards have blowing snow and winds and are defined as having large amounts of falling or blowing snow and winds more than 35 mph with low visibility. Blizzards can stretch for hundreds of miles from mid-America to Canada or across areas of North America.

There is no snowfall criteria for a blizzard - in fact, "ground blizzards" occur when no snow at all falls, but the snow already on the ground is blown around sufficiently to reduce visibility considerably.

There is no set amount of snowfall. There are only three criteria needed for a storm to be considered:

  • Winds of at least 35 mph
  • Blowing snow reduces visibility ot 1/4 mile or less
  • Conditions persist for a prolonged time.

Technically, a storm can be a blizzard without any new accumulation of snow. If these conditions arise with snow that has already fallen, then it is a blizzard.
