Because everyone on my friends list hasn't linked to it yet.

However, I don't think Philadelphia is in the deadly blizzard zone--or at least, in the ten years I've been here, there's been a couple of blizzards that left 2 1/2 feet of snow. I believe real blizzards are more energetic.

And we're in the "nuked second" category, I think.

Technically, what makes it a blizzard isn't amount of snow, but the wind that comes with it. Wind plus cold plus even a couple of feet of snow can be deadly.

Ok, then I think we just get snow storms or whatever you call getting snow with moderate or less wind. My google fu doesn't seem to be up to finding records for just how windy it gets here, but I think the general level is "not very".
