blizzard snow
Heavy winter precipitation
Blizzard snow is snow that falls during a blizzard—a severe winter storm with heavy snowfall, strong winds, and low visibility.
The term emphasizes the snow's association with extreme conditions rather than gentle flurries: We got two feet of blizzard snow overnight.
The phrase is somewhat redundant, since blizzards by definition involve snow.
