Snowstorm Spark By Sidney Zarnich and Katy Highers

What is a blizzard? I mean really, everybody tells you that blizzards can be extreme but what are they? Blizzards are intense winter storms with winds of 35 m.p.h. or higher with falling and/or blowing snow to reduce visibility below ¼ mile for at least three hours.

How does it form? Warm air must rise over cold air. Wind can either pull cold air from the poles to the equator or wind pulls warm air from the equator to the poles. The air is brought together and a front is formed which causes precipitating snow!!
