What Causes a Blizzard.

A blizzard is a severe weather condition characterized by

low temperatures and strong winds (graeter than 35 mph)bearing

great amount of snow , either falling or blowing.

Blizzard's are generally cold when polar air comes down and

mixes with the warm moist air from lower latitudes. it requires a few more complex elements in the atmosphere to get a storm system going, but once it's done it can feed on the temperature differences to become stronger. the "Deeper" a storm gets, the stronger the low perssure gets at the center (lower, in other worlds) which helps to enhance the winds, creating a blizzard.

Traveling in a Blizzard

Is just not a good idea. If you are on the

road during a blizzard look for a hotel

or motel nearby and stay off the road

until driving conditions are safe again

Designate a fun activity during a Blizzard

For each person in the household. If the lights are out, it will be hard to find that really warm turtle neck or a pair of warm socks or gloves... in the dark. Count on the power being out for at least a day or two and have some board games and a deck of cards on hand. Arts and crafts are always fun for the kids (especially if there isn't any television to distract them) so make sure you have some of those supplies easily available.

If your get stranded in your car

During a bad snow storm or a Blizzard, be preparded with plenty of warm clothes and packaged snack foods. It my seem sensible to leave the engine running to keep yourself warm, but it isn't. The danger of carbon monoxide poisoning is high. Snow can block your exhaust pipe and fill your car up with deadly fumes. Keeping one window open just a bit will help avoid this. If you keep the engine running you may run out of gas before the storm is over. A better idea is to run the engine is short bursts. Turn the engine on long to keep the car warm and then turn it off. keep this routine up until the conditions are stable enough for you to get back on the road.
