Blizzards are basically really big snow storms!!Blizzards are formed when a high pressure system, also known as a ridge, interacts with a low pressure system. Some areas in the world are more likely to get blizzards than others, but blizzards can occur anywhere that has snow and high winds. Blizzards are particularly common to the Northeastern United States, the Northern Great Plains in the United States, Atlantic Canada, and the Canadian Prairie Provinces. Blizzard conditions also occur regularly in the mountain ranges in western North America, however, since these regions have low populations, they are often not reported at all. Worldwide, blizzards often occur across Russia, and into the northern regions of Europe. They have also been known to occur across the United Kingdom, although severe winter storms there are not common because of the sea currents of the North Atlantic Drift. http://www.cmonroe.net/
