The origin of the word "blizzard" lies with its use, by O.C. Bates, to describe a brutal snow storm that lashed the open prairie. Bates was the Editor of the Estherville, Iowa newspaper the Vindicator and he couldn't think of a word forceful enough to describe the late blinding snow storm in April of 1871.
According to the online etymology dictionary:
1859, origin obscure (perhaps somehow connected with blaze); it came into general use in the U.S. in the hard winter 1880-81, though it was used with a sense of "violent blow" in Amer.Eng., 1829; and blizz "violent rainstorm" is attested from 1770.
