Who is affected from a blizzard?

Answer 1

It would depend where the blizzard hit. In a rural area, probably some animal and plant life loss, as well as snow pile ups. On a city, human life and material loss. The people that are lost often die from hypothermia or many other ailments as well as animals for many of the same reasons. Both of those depending on the intensity of the blizzard.

The primary dangers are from severely reduced to zero visibility due to blowing snow, a state called "whiteout", accompanied by drifting. If one is caught out in a car in a blizzard, the hazards are grave. A second problem is that the high winds combined with cold temperatures result in dangerous wind-chill factors. For example, at an outside temperature of 0°F combined with a 40-MPH wind has the chilling effect of still air at -53°F. A third issue is that blizzards can damage power lines directly, or break tree limbs that fall on the lines. Loss of power in many homes during a blizzard can quickly reduce the inside temperature to dangerously low levels, freeze water pipes, etc. The weight of snow can cause roofs to collapse, too.
