	Blizzard Summary
		A blizzard is a severe storm, potentially life threatening, caused by wind-driven snow.
		Although many blizzards involve heavy snow falls, smaller snow amounts may still be driven to blizzard conditions of low visibility and extreme wind chill.
		The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile or 400 meters for three consecutive hours, including snow or ice as precipitation, and have wind speeds of at least 35 miles per hour or 56 kilometres per hour (this would be seven or more on the Beaufort Wind Scale).
