Both hurricanes and blizzard are related types of storm system. Blizzards are typically associated with intense, cold-weather mid-latitude cyclones. Hurricanes are intense tropical cyclones. So, both are low pressure systems. Hurricanes that leave the tropics usually undergo extratropical transition, in which they become mid-latitude cyclones, though they can retain tropical characteristics for a few days. When such a storm meets a blizzard the two systems will merge, forming a sort of hybrid cyclone. The tropical air of the hurricane and the cold air of the blizzard will likely result in the new merged system becoming very intense.

When a hurricane and a blizzard mix, it can result in an intense and dangerous storm known as a "snowicane" or "hurrication." The interaction between cold temperatures and warm, moist air can cause heavy snowfall and blizzard-like conditions within the hurricane. This combination can lead to extreme winds, heavy snow accumulation, and prolonged periods of freezing temperatures.
