Answer 1

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Here is a link to the dictionary definition, although the word blizzard probably does not come up too often in Mexican conversation. blizzard

It does in Pennsylvania though, doesn't it! :) - Yeser007, Feb 18, 2010

Jejeje! Actually, it is also a word we like to avoid here!!! - Nicole-B, Feb 18, 2010

There are such high mountains of snow on the streets of Philly that the city has to send special trucks around for removal this weekend. - Nicole-B, Feb 18, 2010

Well, maybe not mountains, but there are extremely high piles of snow everywhere. - Nicole-B, Feb 18, 2010

Yea i don't think its ventisca since its the common word. Its kinda mexican slang and only someone from mexico would probably know. My spanish teacher is from mexico and she wanted to see if we could find out, using anythign we wanted. - dsang11, Feb 18, 2010

Answer 2

I live in Wisconsin and my wife (Mexicana) uses "Tormenta de nieve fuerte " when explaining a blizzard to her family back in Mexico. Basic, but they seem to get it.
