Snow is fun. An inch of Ice is not :'(
An ice storm is rain that freezes and turns to ice before it reaches the ground. That's what I have going on in my area right now, but it's not really a storm, it's just raining ice.
Kim, it's both.
A blizzard is basically a winter hurricane. Here is one of the stories on it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/01/AR2011020106879.html
This is the one I remember best, March 13 1993 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Storm_of_the_Century If you look at the scale rating on it, it was actually a class 2 hurricane.
Kim at one point this last month there was snow in 49 of 50 states. Including Hawaii.
w00t the storm missed us again...we just got regular rain 
We had 15cm of snow overnight, and 50 more coming between today and tomorrow.
The most I seen in a 3 day period was 140cm's of snow when I lived in Northern Ontario. That year we had so much snow that personal snow blowers could not blow the snow over the banks.
The most snow in a season I seen was in Goose Bay, Labrador. The drifts were so high that the CO of our Base had to issue a memo telling people to not snowmobile on top of the hangars. Some parts of the roads ran through tunnels of snow. Driveways were tunnels too. The worst part was that parents had to check the outsides of the houses for trapped kids, as the snow would melt about 8 inches from the sides, and drop about 8 feet down.
