Yes,Chill,big nasty one! 16-36" of snow,wind gusts 50+ mph,mainly NY,New England region.

The word blizzard is thrown around every year by the media when snowstorms hit, but there is a very specific definition. A blizzard is not just classified by heavily falling snow. In fact, snow does not even need to be falling for a blizzard to be classified. The exact requirements for a blizzard must last three hours or longer with sustained winds or frequent gusts to 35 mph or greater. On top of the wind requirements, there must also be considerable falling OR blowing snow, reducing the visibility to less than a quarter of a mile frequently. "Blizzard conditions often occur on the Plains without any falling snow with a high frequency of strong winds," according to AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Alex Sosnowski. Sometimes blizzard conditions only occur over a small area, but in the cities and towns that are hit travel is brought to a stand still.
