Answer to Question 1

A true blizzard is a weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds bearing large amounts of fine, dry, powdery particles of snow that reduces visibility to less than one-quarter mile (and sometimes as little as a few feet) for at least three hours. This is different than a ground blizzard, which produced by a combination of drifting and blowing snow after falling snow has ended.

Answer to Question 2

Although many believe the expression it's too cold to snow is true, it is actually never too cold to snow. No matter how cold the air becomes, it always contains some water vapor that could produce snow. We usually associate extremely cold air with no snow because the coldest winter weather occurs on clear, calm nights - conditions that normally prevail with strong high pressure areas that have few, if any, clouds.
