Blizzard Warning

A Blizzard Warning is issued by weather authorities when specific conditions create dangerously severe winter weather. It indicates that a significant amount of snow, strong winds (at least 35 mph), and low visibility (under a quarter mile) are expected to persist for several hours. This combination can make travel hazardous and lead to whiteout conditions, where it's hard to see anything. It’s important to take these warnings seriously, as they can disrupt daily life, cause power outages, and pose risks to safety if you need to be outdoors or travel during the storm.
