What exactly is a “Blizzard?”
By Jeff Smith and Mike Bencivenga, Jamie Nguyen
NEW YORK (WABC) –
A blizzard is a snowstorm on steroids. The term blizzard may be tossed around casually, but to officially qualify as a blizzard, a storm
has to meet the following three criteria:
1. Sustained wind or frequent gusts of 35mph or greater.
2. Considerable falling and/or blowing snow reducing visibility to under a quarter mile.
3. These conditions have to continue for at least three consecutive hours!
