Blizzards Blizzards Blizzards are snowstorms and strong cold winds. Blizzards are caused when the cold air from the Arctic meets the warmer air from the tropics. This causes high winds and snow. They are most common in the northern Mississippi Basin of the United States, in the central and eastern part of Canada and in Russia.
Blizzards often cause normal activities to stop.
Transportation stops and deliveries of such necessary items as food and coal may stop. Although blizzards do not effect the world, they do have great effects on certain areas of the world.
