Best Answer

Blizzard

A long-lasting snow storm with intense snowfall and usually high winds. Particularly severe storms can create whiteout conditions where visibility is reduced to zero.

Snow squall

A brief, very intense snow shower.

Lake effect snow

Produced when cold air moves across long expanses of warmer lake water, generating intense instability and evaporating lake water which forms snow and is deposited downwind.

Ground blizzard

Occurs when a strong wind drives already fallen snow to create drifts and whiteouts.

Thundersnow

Only found in the most intense and dynamic snow storms and squalls. When enough instability is generated and convection becomes deep enough, thunder and lightning are generated to accompany snowfall of extremely high rates.
