No, snow is not the only type of precipitation that can fall during a winter storm. Other forms of winter precipitation include sleet, freezing rain, and rain, depending on temperature conditions and atmospheric dynamics. Each type of precipitation occurs under different conditions and can significantly affect travel and safety during a winter storm.
Operation Winter Storm happened on 1942-12-23.
During a blizzard, temperatures can drop below freezing and can vary depending on the region and the severity of the storm. In extreme cases, temperatures can plummet well below 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 degrees Celsius), especially in polar regions or during severe winter storms.
Winds need to reach sustained speeds or frequent gusts of 35 m.p.h. or greater, and visibilities have to be repeatedly reduced to 1/4 mile or less by falling and/or blowing snow for a period of at least three hours. A blizzard can actually occur with clear skies if the visibility reduction is caused by blowing snow. While there are no temperature requirements for a blizzard, the combination of strong winds and below-freezing temperatures will drop windchills at least into the single digits.
A winter storm watch means that conditions are favorable for severe winter weather. There is potential for ice accumulation, freezing rain, sleet, or heavy snow. Watches are issued at least 12 hours before the hazardous weather is expected to begin.

The approaching winter storm is expected to be the season's most dangerous.

Both winter storms and hurricanes can be powerful, but they have different characteristics. Winter storms can bring heavy snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures, while hurricanes bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges. The impact of each can vary depending on the specific conditions and location.
