Blizzards!

Blizzards!

The Great White Hurricane In 1888, a blizzard hit New York. The storm lasted for three days. It caused a lot of harm. Many people died.

Extreme Storms The United States has had many blizzards. Three things make up a blizzard- strong winds, blinding snow, and freezing cold.

Birth of a Blizzard Snow starts when moist warm air meets cold air. Clouds form, and the water in them freezes into snow.

The winds whip the snow through the air. It becomes hard to see.

Biting winds also make air feel colder. This is called wind chill. Wind chill makes the body lose heat faster. Skin can freeze.
