Blizzards cause cars to be burying and people could lose their life power lines are often taken.Roofs could fall down.
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.
It formed March 11, 1888, and dissipated March 14, 1888, but it took another week or so until the snow was sufficiently cleared to allow full trains and transportation to run smoothly again. The Great Blizzard also precipitated the creation of underground subway systems, first in Boston, then New York City.
The U.S has seen plenty of dangerous blizzards throughout its history. The Great Blizzard killed more than 400,000 people in 1888. In 1993, the Storm of the Century hit an area from Cuba to Canada and was a mixture of a blizzard and a hurricane.
Depends where in Canada you live.
In Manitoba usually March but in 2013 it was April so it depends every year.
Americans seem to think it snows all year round in our 'igloo's' but they have no idea about Canada.
A blizzard is a heavy snowfall with high winds. Where I live we loose 2 or three people every year that get lost between the barn and the house in a blizzard and die of hypothermia.
So the snow and cold wind blows inside your clothes, the snow blowing around blinds you to anything more than a foot away, often you can't see the ground or your feet. And finally the wind is noisy.
This makes the whole thing very frightening.
Yes, in some cases, a blizzard can happen over an ocean. This is because the water vapor from the ocean can help the beginning stages of a blizzard develop.
Not in the same place. Tornadoes and hail often occur together and may be accompanied by flooding, but blizzards require much colder conditions that cannot lead to the formation of tornadoes and hail. It is, however, possible for the same storm system to produce tornadoes in one region and blizzard conditions in another.
the strong winds
Yes. If a human is trapped in a snowstorm with no adequate shelter, clothing, food, and water for an extended period of time, he can develop hypothermia and die if not rescued in time.
also if the snow has started to turn to ice or just if the snow is making driving difficult your car could slide off the road or if you cant see you could crash your car.
also cars can be like freezers so if you brreak down in a car it will become colder and colder until like it says above you will develope hypothemia or frostbite.
Most of the time blizzards are in the winter when the cold seasons come in. But if you live in the arctic or high in the mountains, then it could be anytime.
Different types of clouds can be involved - nimbostratus, different types of cumulus... the type of cloud isn't at all central to a blizzard. In fact, ground blizzards don't need clouds at all- much of the snow blowing around is lifted from previous falls.
Eight or ten blizzards a year are not uncommon to coastal areas, but the U.S. get's about 10.7 to 11 blizzards a year.
well, u no how precipitaion is in it, right? most common ones are rain and snow and stuff... but blizzards are another type of precipitation! YAY ME HAHA I GOT THAT RIGHT! YES! i so smart :)!!
No there are a few places where this may happen but they are in very isolated places on the top of a few mountains. Most Australians never see snow unless they go out of their way to find it.
Blizzards can cause extremely low visibility, and can cause people outside to get lost. It can cause slippery roads, and can cause people to get hypothermia or frostbite.
Blizzards can cause deaths mainly because they are cold. the majority of people die from hypothermia due to the cold. It's not actually the snow itself but the cold that kills people. As humans, we are actually very dependent on moisture and heat to survive.
Blizzards tend to make visibility low, so most people tend to stay where they are, unless they're outside. If they're outside, it is wise to find some form of shelter, or if in a car, try to drive to the nearest shelter (gas station, hospital, barn, etc.) and get into a building instead. It is generally safer to be in a building than a mobile shelter during a blizzard.

Most often in the Plains states, but blizzards can occur anywhere in the US. Even in places like California and Arizona.
Blizzards occur mostly in the northern regions of the US, primarily in the northeast, because of the closeness of the equator, The southern half of the US is rarely hit with snowstorms.
Blizzards can occur in any region of the world which is subject to snow. They are most frequent in continental interiors at high latitudes where very cold weather is frequent and wind is easily generated. Some examples include Siberia, Alaska, the Himalayas, the Great Plains and Great Lakes regions of Canada and the US, mountainous eastern Europe, in the high Andes, and in Antarctica.
Blizzards occur in the winter time. Blizzards are a snow storm that is larger than normal with very high winds.
you can't actually do that but you can build your house somewhere else that is not even near an avalanche! because if you know that you are living in a place where there's going to be an avalanche, why don't you move somewhere safer?!
Cold air blow out of the artic into a mass of warm air called the temperate zone and forces the warm air up. this produces a snowstorm with cold northwinds. this usually happens after unusually warm weather in winter.
Snow forms if the freezing level is below a height of 1,000 ft (300 m) above the ground. A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds (greater than 35 mph) bearing a great amount of snow, either falling or blowing.
A "Black blizzard" is another name for a sand or dust storm.

The answer to this question will change just about every week, if not every day. Try going on Google and search. I have to answer the same question as well!
Snow and strong winds mix together to create a blizzard.
Both tornadoes and blizzards are dangerous storms the produce strong winds. Both are generally associated with low barometric pressure, as are nearly all storms.
