blizzardy

Like a snowstorm

Blizzardy describes weather resembling or characteristic of a blizzard—heavy snow, strong winds, poor visibility.

It's informal and often slightly playful: It's getting blizzardy out there, We had a blizzardy weekend.

The word suggests wintry unpleasantness without necessarily meeting the technical threshold of a true blizzard.
