Blizzard
A large amount of snow is typically called a snowstorm or a blizzard when there is heavy precipitation and strong winds, leading to significant accumulation.
Snowbound is when you are blocked in by heavy snow.
High winds refer to strong airflow at surface level, typically exceeding 40 miles per hour. Heavy blowing snow occurs when snow is lifted from the ground and transported by the wind, reducing visibility and creating hazardous driving conditions. Both can be associated with winter storms or cold fronts.
A blizzard. It is characterized by strong winds, low temperatures, and heavy snowfall, resulting in reduced visibility and difficult traveling conditions. Blizzards are common in polar regions due to the extreme cold and high winds.
A windblown pile of snow is called a snowdrift. This occurs when strong winds pick up loose snow and deposit it in a mound-like formation. Snowdrifts can vary in size and shape depending on the strength of the wind and the texture of the snow.

A blizzard usually produces heavy snow and high winds.
Snow falls and a rapid change must occur such as a rapid change in the temperature, strong winds, or heavy snow fall.
A blizzard is characterized by strong winds and blowing snow, rather than a specific amount of snowfall. However, blizzards can often involve heavy snowfall leading to significant accumulation, with totals varying widely depending on the storm's intensity, duration, and location.
Snowbound or snowed in.
High winds refer to strong airflow at surface level, typically exceeding 40 miles per hour. Heavy blowing snow occurs when snow is lifted from the ground and transported by the wind, reducing visibility and creating hazardous driving conditions.

No, hurricanes do not have snow. Hurricanes are tropical storms characterized by warm air masses and high humidity, which typically results in heavy rainfall and strong winds. Snow is associated with winter storms and cold air masses.
