AI overview
A blizzard is a severe snowstorm with strong sustained winds and low visibility that lasts at least three or four hours, sometimes covering hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Blizzards matter because their combination of heavy snow, powerful winds, and poor visibility can create dangerous conditions for travel and daily life over vast areas for extended periods.
