The summer chair rocking by itself In the blizzard... Jack Kerouac
The wind down the night's long alley bowls me down like a pin; I stagger and fall and stagger, crawl arm-deep in the snow. Beaten back to my corner, how can I hope to win? And there is the blizzard waiting to give me the knockout blow. Robert W. Service
I have seen the Dread of Dakota. A genuine blizzard and am now ready to leave anytime, that we can sell. Oh, it was terrible. I have often read about Blizzards but they have to be seen to be fully realized. Sadie Shaw, letter to family 1888.
It snowed and snowed, the whole world over,
Snow swept the world from end to end.
A candle burned on the table;
A candle burned. Yurii Zhivago,"Winter Night", The Poems of Yurii Zhivago
The snow is blowing sideways: a hard white artillery. Diane Ackerman, Poems in Winter
A night made hoary with the swarm And whirl-dance of the blinding storm, As zigzag, wavering to and fro, Crossed and recrossed the wingėd snow: John Greenleaf Whittier, Snow-Bound
"All day a driving snow storm, imprisoning most, stopping the cars, blocking up the roads. No school to-day. I cannot see a house fifty rods off from my window through [it]; yet in midst of all I see a bird, probably a tree sparrow, partly blown, partly flying over the house to alight in a field. The snow penetrates through the smallest crevices under doors and side of windows." Henry David Thoreau
Announced by all the trumpets of the sky,
Arrives the snow; and driving o'er the fields,
Seems nowhere to slight; the whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river and the heaven,
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end."
Ralph Waldo Emerson,"The Snowstorm"
The snow fell with unabated lavishness until an hour or two after the coming on of what appeared to be the natural darkness of night. John Muir, "Snow-Storm on Mount Shasta."

Every cloud pregnant with white stuff, ready to litter all over the landscape. Carla Helfferich
Howl and Blast followed by Blast and Howl Stephen King, Storm of the Century

It's snowing like gunshot. Diane Ackerman, Cultivating Delight
