Blizzard History

A blizzard is a severe winter storm characterized by heavy snowfall and strong winds, reducing visibility and creating hazardous conditions. Historically, blizzards have caused significant disruptions, from transportation delays to economic losses. They can lead to life-threatening situations due to cold exposure and snow accumulation. The most notable blizzards, such as the Great Blizzard of 1888 in the United States, resulted in fatalities and widespread chaos. With climate change, blizzards may become more intense, underscoring the need for preparedness and infrastructure improvements to mitigate their impact on communities.
