Both tornadoes and blizzards are both dangerous storms that produce strong winds associated with low barometric pressure.

In terms of difference blizzard is a cold-weather phonomenon that produces blowing snow. By definition, conditions must persist for at least 3 hours to be considered a blizzard, and many blizzards last days. Blizzards are usually large-scale storm systems, covering many thousands of square miles.

Tornadoes are primarily a warm-weather phenomenon as they are spawned by thunderstorms. If it is cold enough for snow, it is too cold for a tornado. Tornadoes generally only last a few minutes and some last for mere seconds; only a handful have persisted for over 3 hours, and not in the same location. Tornadoes are small compared to other weather events, rarely reaching over a mile wide.
