What type of scale is used to measure a blizzard?
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.
