What kind of damage is done by a blizzard?

Answer 1

Blizzards can cause damage directly in two ways and indirectly in many other ways:

Blizzards have two components - cold (with the accompanying snow) and wind. The cold can damage anything susceptible to cold damage such as plants, animals, and structures. The wind can cause the same kind of damage that any wind can cause with or without snow - downed tree limbs, flying debris, shingles removed from roofs, etc. When combined with the cold and snow however, it makes the cold damage worse - the convective heat transfer will chill things quicker than a windless snowfall. The wind can also force snow through crevasses where it normally would not enter. With the subsequent thaw-freeze cycle, this can lead to ice-expansion damage.

Blizzards can cause damage in the form of traffic accidents, people and animals getting lost due to limited visibility, piling snow up in drifts that cause damage by their weight, piling snow up in drifts that impede movement, drifts that hide dangerous drop offs and thin ice, limited visibility hiding obstacles that skiers and snowmobilers crash into, etc. etc.
