Long Answer

Solution

Blizzards blow in the polar regions, especially beyond 65° latitude in both hemispheres. They are intensely cold snowstorms with strong winds that blow at speeds of 50 to 60 km per hour and may last for 3−4 hours. These blizzards occur in areas like the Arctic and the Siberian Taiga region, where snowfall is common in winter, and temperatures remain very low, preventing the snow from melting. The blizzards help spread vast masses of snow over large areas in these cold, high-latitude climates.
