33. The Storm of the 20th Century took place in March 1993. It was iconic for its hurricane wind force and massive size. And stretched from Cana-da to mid-America. The blizzard caused roughly 300 deaths and 10 million power outages.

42. Traveling by car or foot is highly discouraged during blizzard conditions. It increases the chance of hypothermia, accident, and death.
43. In 2019, a bomb cyclone blizzard caused a 100-car pile-up in Colorado on I-25..
44. China is up there with the countries in the world that have experienced the most blizzards. The country’s central and southern reasons have a particularly rich history of experiencing blizzards.
45. The blizzard usually occurs in the northwest area during a substantial snowfall.
46. The deadliest blizzard in the world occurred in Iran in 1972. It is believed that as much as 26 feet of snow fell down during the blizzard, leading to around 4,000 fatalities.
47. Some blizzards can result in many feet of snow accumulating on the ground – causing major issues for traffic and snow-clearing crews.
48. During the 1880s, when several severe snow-storms in the United States and England, the term ‘blizzard’ became popular.
49. A blizzard warning is issued when blizzard conditions are occurring or expected to occur with-in 12 to 18 hours.
50. Blizzards can also occur after snowfall when high winds cause whiteouts (fallen snow blowing around) and snowdrifts (huge mountains of snow), which decrease visibility.
51. In 2018, the “Bomb Cyclone” blizzard brought heavy snow and strong winds to the eastern U.S.
52. As soon as you receive a storm warning, get prepared. You could lose electricity (this includes hot water and heat), so stock up on non-perishable foods, blankets, flashlights, extra batteries, and candles beforehand.
53. Farmers in ‘blizzard country’ often plant wheat in the fall. The snow protects it and the moisture from the melting snow in spring gives it a head start in the growing season.
54. When stuck in a blizzard without protection, eating snow is not a good choice because it lowers the temperature of the body.
55. Snowmageddon was a major blizzard that af-fected most of the Northeastern United States be-tween February 5th and 6th in 2010.

59. Hurricanes form along the Atlantic Ocean par-allel to the East Coast of the United States, caus-ing Blizzards.
60. Blizzards result in trees falling and plants dy-ing. This damages forests, which then releases ex-cess carbon dioxide, causing an imbalance in the local ecosystem, and impacting plants and wildlife.
61. A blizzard with heavy snowfall can contribute to the overall water supply, as the melted snow provides water for rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
