Blizzard
From FIS Freestyle wiki

Blizzard is a severe storm condition characterized by low temperatures, strong winds, and heavy snow. The difference between blizzard and a snowstorm is the strength of the wind. Ground blizzards are a variation on the traditional blizzard, in that ground blizzards require high winds to stir up snow that has already fallen, rather than fresh snowfall. Regardless of the variety of blizzard, they can bring near-whiteout conditions, which restrict visibility to near zero.
