Describe what a true blizzard is and how it differs from a ground blizzard


A true blizzard is a weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds bearing large amounts of fine, dry, powdery particles of snow that reduces visibility to less than one-quarter mile (and sometimes as little as a few feet) for at least three hours. This is different than a ground blizzard, which produced by a combination of drifting and blowing snow after falling snow has ended.
