Hurricane strength.
There is generally no scale for blizzard strength in widespread use. Blizzards can be classified after they're done and we know how much damage they did, or at least how disruptive they were. This is something that research groups or climatological data centers might work on, but it's not something most people end up hearing about. You may hear local forecasters try to come up with a metric for the strength of an impending blizzard, but that would just be something that that meteorologist came up with.
they measure hurricanes on the saffir-simpson scale ( category 1,2,3,4,5) by measuring the following 4 things: barometric pressure, wind speed, storm surge, and possible damage.

Different types of storm rotate. A large-scale rotating storm may be called a cyclone. A violently rotating storm that is produced by a thunderstorm is a tornado.

The Saffir-Simpson scale is a system of rating the intensity of hurricanes. A hurricane will fall into one of 5 intensity categories based on the storm's sustained wind speed.
There is no direct conversion between tornado strength and hurricane intensity as they are measured on different scales. Tornado strength is typically measured on the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, while hurricane strength is measured on the Saffir-Simpson scale based on wind speeds. These scales are not directly comparable, so there is no equivalent rating between a tornado's EF scale and a hurricane's pressure in millibars.

Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
The Fujita scale, used to measure the strength of tornadoes, was developed by Tetsuya Theodore Fujita (1920-1998).Dr. Theodore Fujita first introduced the Fujita Scale in 1971 and was the main inventor, but Allen Pearson, head of the National Severe Storms Forecast Center in Kansas City, Missouri, (now known as the Storm Prediction Center) helped make additions He helped include the path width and path length into the version of the Fujita Scale which was relased in 1973.
No. A tornado is a small scale but violent whirlwind. A frontal storm is a large scale system that connects to one or more fronts.
all you have to do is get a measuring tape measure before a storm and after the storm measure it again.
