A snowstorm is a weather event characterized by significant snowfall and strong winds. It typically involves the accumulation of snow on the ground, often accompanied by reduced visibility due to falling snow or blowing snow. Snowstorms can vary in intensity and duration, ranging from light flurries to heavy blizzards that can produce several inches or even feet of snow. These conditions may lead to hazardous travel, power outages, and disruptions in daily activities, as well as creating challenges for emergency services and infrastructure. Snowstorms are most common in winter months in regions that experience cold temperatures, and they can be influenced by various meteorological factors, including temperature, moisture, and atmospheric pressure systems.
