Why do mountaineers who are lost in blizzards dig snow-holes to keep warm?

This biggest reason mountaineers builds snow shelters is to keep warm. I know this sounds backwards, but snow actually acts as an insulator. If you can build a tight shelter, just big enough for your body, your body and breath can warm the air inside enough to help keep you warm -or warmer than you would be otherwise.

Why do mountaineers who are lost in blizzards dig holes for warmth?
Your body heat, amazingly, will be reflected back to you by the snow and you stand a better chance of surviving than if you were out in the freezing wind.
Why are Blizzards Danger?
Blizzards are most dangerous these days to people travelling, particularly by vehicle. People can become stranded on the road without food, water, and exposed to the elements (or exposed to CO in their cars if they keep the engine running). Aside from that, driving on slippery roads in poor visibility causes numerous fatal accidents every year.They can be somewhat dangerous in the country where people can still be stranded outside with help a long way away, and in particularly severe blizzards it is possible to become disoriented and lost in whiteout conditions.The reason why they're so dangerous is because when the blizzard is going its very hard for people to drive and see through the snow. Which causes people to get lost and/or die! Hoped this helped
