Can hurricanes cause snow?

Not hurricanes per se. By definition a hurricane is a tropical system. However, a hurricane can become a post-tropical cyclone and then produce snow, but at that point it is no longer considered a hurricane.


How bad is Hurricane Sandy going to be for Ohio?

Hard to tell, in advance. Lots of high winds, and snow, probably.


Is a Katrina hurricane worst than a flood and a tornado and an earthquake and a snow storm?

There is no such things as "a Katrina hurricane." Hurricane Katrina was a particular hurricane that hit the Gulf Coast in 2005. Hurricane Katrina was worse than any tornado on record and deadlier and more destructive than any recorded snowstorm. Katrina was worse than most earthquakes, but not all. Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,800 people. Some earthquakes have had death tolls in the hundreds of thousands.


Can it snow during a hurricane?

The short answer is that no it cannot, because it is far too warm in hurricanes for snow to fall Hurricanes are fundamentally tropical, warm-core systems that obtain energy from latent heat release from water that has evaporated from warm ocean water. This is quite different than mid-latitude cyclones, which are what can turn into blizzards. It gets trickier once a hurricane moves into northern latitudes in the months of October and November though. There are some very complicated processes and transitions that take place, and what it basically comes down to is that you can get some wet snow well inland and up in elevation associated with a decaying hurricane if the upper atmospheric wave pattern is favorable as it interacts with this system. Chances are, though, that the hurricane will have weakened to a tropical storm at best by this time, and likely will technically be called an extratropical cyclone due to some of the transitions taking place.


What does a avalanche feel like?

An avalanche is like a giant snow eruption, like a huge hurricane or tornado of snow. It's very dangerous, and isn't a great thing to be standing near to. To see what an avalanche can look like in full blow, go on a video website, and type in 'Avalanches'. Pick any one which looks like a giant hurricane of snow.
