A blizzard is experienced in the higher latitudes where cold winds from the poles moves south and warm winds from the tropics moves north. Sometimes it may not snow during a blizzard but the snow on the ground is whipped up by sustained winds leading to poor visibility and life threatening conditions. The visibility drops to less than 400 meters during a blizzard and this can lead to road accidents.
