A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong sustained winds and low visibility, lasting for a prolonged period of time—typically at least three or four hours. A ground blizzard is a weather condition where snow that has already fallen is being blown by wind. Blizzards can have an immense size and usually stretch to hundreds or thousands of kilometres.

thumb|A spectrogram of Bloop Bloop was an ultra low frequency, high-amplitude underwater sound detected by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in 1997. By 2012, earlier speculation that the sound originated from a marine animal was replaced by NOAA's description of the sound as being consistent with noises generated via non-tectonic cryoseisms originating from glacial movements such as ice calving, or through seabed gouging by ice.

They are found in polar regions, and in snowy, wind-swept areas of temperate regions, such as frozen lakes or mountain ridges. Sastrugi are distinguished by upwind-facing points, resembling anvils, which move downwind as the surface erodes. These points usually lie along ridges parallel to the prevailing wind; they are steep on the windward side and sloping to the leeward side. Smaller irregularities of this type are known as ripples (

ridge formed in pack ice by accumulation of ice blocks in the convergence between floes

accumulation of ice on a river caused by ice break-up forming a barrier that in turn can cause floods

very small particles of ice, the solid equivalent of drizzle

meteorological phenomenon

type of ice that forms on dead wood and takes the shape of fine, silky hair

ice column formed when liquid groundwater rises into freezing air

event where a surge of ice is pushed onshore from a river or sea (due to water movements or wind)

ice crystals that form in supercooled water that is too turbulent to permit coagulation into sheet ice

A cryoseism, ice quake or frost quake, is a seismic event caused by a sudden cracking action in frozen soil or rock saturated with water or ice, or by stresses generated at frozen lakes.
