The question would be better phrased as why do blizzards occur at fronts. A weather front is a natural phenomenon and often occurs where air masses differ in moisture and temperature. A storm front with rain has warmer temps at higher elevations than a storm front with hail. A storm front at cold temperatures can bring dry snow, wet snow, sleet (icy rain), ice, or a blizzard-- and what occurs depends on the moisture and temperature. A blizzard may arise where two fronts merge, collide, or interact, and how fast the fronts "move". A fast moving front dumps less rain or snow than a front that is slow-moving or stalled.

Why don't fronts occur in the tropics?
Fronts only occur at the boundary of air masses. The Tropics, however are pretty uniform in their high heat and humidity, so there is little in the way of air mass differences.
