Description

Snowfall in the Dakota wind blows into whiteout conditions on a January day. A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong winds and low temperatures. The difference between a blizzard and a snowstorm is the strength of the wind. To be a blizzard, a snow storm must have sustained winds or frequent gusts that are greater than or equal to 56 km/h (35 mph) with blowing or drifting snow which reduces visibility to 400 meters or a quarter mile or less and must last for a prolonged period of time � typically three hours or more. Snowfall amounts do not have to be significant. A severe blizzard has winds over 72 km/h (45 mph), near zero visibility, and temperatures of −12 �C (10 �F) or lower. A ground blizzard has snowdrifts and blowing snow near the ground, but no falling snow. Blizzards can bring near-whiteout conditions, and can paralyze regions for days at a time, particularly where snowfall is unusual or rare. dakota, light, photography, fence, snow, winter, white, storm, blizzard, snowfall, snowing, whiteout, wind, whiteout conditions, snowstorm, gandolf #201301116003
