Blizzards can create conditions that increase the risk of avalanches, but blizzards and avalanches themselves are separate weather events. Blizzards refer to severe snowstorms with strong winds and reduced visibility, while avalanches are sudden mass movements of snow down a slope. Both can occur in mountainous regions during winter storms.

How are avalanches and tornadoes different?

Avalanches are tornadoes are two completely different phenomena. An avalanche is a rapidly-moving flow of snow that move down the slope of a mountain. They occur as a result of snow piled on top of a weak layer breaking loose, often from some sort of physical disturbance. A tornado is a violently rotating clomn of air that connects to the base of a thunderstorm and to the ground and is often made visible by a funnel-shaped cloud.
