A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by strong winds, heavy snowfall, and low visibility. To qualify as a blizzard, the weather must have sustained winds of 35 mph (56 km/h) or greater, significant accumulation of snow, and visibility reduced to less than a quarter of a mile (400 meters) for at least three hours.
