There Is a sharply defined diffe:- ence between a heavy snowstorm and blizzard are a gale of wind, zers | cold, and drifting, powdery BOW. | The wind may not have been accom- panied by actual snowfall, yet to the height of several hundred feet the air may be filied with whirling | masses of snow, whipped up by tha! gale. As observed from a lofty ela. | vation, the sky above may all the | time be clear #nd blue. The snow | covering, intensely cold and dry, sub- mits to the pulverizing influence ot high winds. This phenomenon is not common In the eastern part of the country. Though the wind in a blizzard usual- ly comes from the north it may be westerly imstead. One of the worst blizzards that ever struck the Ohlo Valley, that of January 12th, 1918, came with a southwest gale, dur- ing whieh the mercury fell to 20 be. low zero.
