Publisher Description: Read and find out about blizzards in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. All blizzards are snowstorms, but not all snowstorms are blizzards. What is the difference? How much snow falls during a blizzard? How fast are the winds? How cold does it get during a blizzard? Read and find out! What Makes a Blizzard comes chock-full of visual aids like charts, sidebars, and hands-on activities--including how to keep a winter weather journal and how to observe what a snowflake really looks like.
