You ever heard of a "ground blizzard?"

[Chill Phil]

North Dakota meteorologists are making shit up now. Snow tonight and then what they're calling a ground blizzard on Sunday.

Which pretty much means 40-50 mph winds across the flat landscape, creating epic snow drifts...AGAIN.


but calling it a ground blizzard, really?

Bet your loving that shmoob though. Damn i miss mine

[uh-oh]

LMAO nah i havent heard that. i believe it tho

i got caught in a crazy wall of snow from wind though on my way to work like a month ago. now that i live in whiteville i gotta drive past a couple farms into town, so there is just like big plains on either sides of this one road, and it was snowing a bit. nothing crazy maybe like 6 inches on the ground but all fresh powdery snow with more dropping. but word there was a section of like 100 feet, where i could see it, like an insane wall of 0 visibility where a wind gust was just pushing all the snow from one field across the road to the other. so it was only a couple seconds of driving through it, but it was nuts. couldn't see SHIT.

so i get the concept. if its crazy wind everywhere with a bunch of snow down.

Makes sense.

I have actually heard of a ground blizzard. My mom is from North Dakota so I learned all about them at a young age

[Chyeahhh!!!]

Theyre having to coin new phrases for weather these days. Thunder and lightning for Saturdays snowstorm. Thunder snow they call it. This phenom is about 5-10 years old, hadn't heard it before 09 but they say it's normal
