Blizzards are typically classified based on specific criteria, including sustained wind speeds of at least 35 mph, significant snowfall accumulations, and reduced visibility of less than a quarter mile due to blowing snow. They are not formally named like hurricanes but may be referred to by the date or region affected. The National Weather Service issues blizzard warnings when these conditions are met, helping to inform the public about potential hazards. In some cases, significant blizzards may acquire nicknames based on their impact or characteristics.
