Blizzard conditions are particularly heightened when cold temperatures combine with the wind to produce wind chills below zero. No accumulation or light dusting is all that is expected. Snow falling at varying intensities for brief periods of time.
Some accumulation is possible.
Brief, intense snow showers accompanied by strong, gusty winds. Accumulation may be significant. Snow squalls are best known in the Great Lakes region. Wind-driven snow that reduces visibility and causes significant drifting. Rain drops that freeze into ice pellets before reaching the ground.
