A storm which precipitates
snow.
Snowstorms typically occur in
winter and can create snowdrifts and thick snow cover. Violent snowstorms are typically called
blizzards. Snowstorms in the
mountains can result in cornices, which can cause
avalanches.
The largest form of snow storm is a polar low pressure zone, known as an arctic cyclone.
