Blizzard

Definition: A blizzard is a major winter snowstorm with strong winds and heavy or blowing snow causing very low visibility. The temperature is not a major factor in a blizzard, and may be just below freezing. In Canada blizzards occur in most regions, except southwestern British Columbia. Blizzards are most frequent in the southern Prairies, the Atlantic provinces, and in the eastern Arctic.
