The first time blizzard was used to describe the weather appeared in an Estherville, Iowa, newspaper in March 1870. The paper was referring to the city getting PUNCHED by a strong winter storm. Blizzards are dangerous winter storms that are a combination of blowing snow and wind resulting in low visibilities.

Where did the name “Dairy Queen®” come from? "Grandpa McCullough", the man who was the driving force behind the creation of Dairy Queen® soft serve, dubbed the store "Dairy Queen®" because he believed his soft serve was a "queen" among dairy products, the epitome of freshness and wholesomeness.

To be categorized as a blizzard, the storm must last for at least three hours and produce a large amount of falling snow. Blizzards also have winds measuring over 56 kilometers (35 miles) per hour. These winds cause a large volume of snow to blow around in the air and near the ground, decreasing visibility.
