Reply To: How many inches do you think is a blizzard?

I grew up in NY.

A blizzard is not defined by the amount of snow falling. It depends on the wind, visibility, and length of the storm. To be a blizzard, it must have sustained winds or frequent gusts over 35 mph, visibility of less than a quarter mile, and last for a “prolonged time”, usually defined as a minimum of 3 hours.
