About the Book

Read and find out about blizzards in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

All blizzards are snowstorms, but not all snowstorms are blizzards. What is the difference? How much snow falls during a blizzard? How fast are the winds? How cold does it get during a blizzard? Read and find out!
