Blizzards explains what blizzards are and what causes them. It describes what they can do, where they happen, and how you can survive them. It provides details of past blizzards - some recent and some from long ago - as examples of what you can expect when the gale-driven snow screams around you and the visibility drops to zero.

This new edition has been fully revised and updated. As well as its accounts of actual blizzards there are simple explanations of the science of weather and climate. Many of these are presented in sidebars. If you need to know the worst the winter can do, this book is essential reading.
