Blizzard In Spanish

Blizzard means ventisca in spanish

no (tormenta de nieve) is as close as you are going to come.

translates into snow storm. im hispanic and an x language student from venezuela trust me i know when i first heard that word in boston i was baffled.

ps sorry you can believe the others if you want but ventisca does not mean blizzard, it means strong winds.

I'm sorry you people can look words up in your little spanish dictionaries all day long but in latin america we'd never say ventisca! I'm sorry it just wouldnt happen. It's true that ventica can be accompanied by snow but it's true meaning is strong winds. If this guy goes up to a hispanic and tell them new york had a ventica they will look at him like he has two heads. To any hispanic you know im right. just say un grande tormenta de nieve and they get your point because you cant literally translate all words from one language to another.

Spanish, French, Italian, German, etc. Romo should be the international word for choke. "They had a 14 point lead going into the 4th quarter and lost the game. They Romo'd when it mattered!"

Yes, there is: ventisca. Ventisca, which means "blizzard" or "snowstorm" is a feminine noun.

Ventisca

I would use two words "tormenta de nieve". "ventisca" is Ok but it may mean also a cold strong wind without snow and bilzzard always imply snow.

blizzard in spanish is tormenta de nieve. ventisca is used for a strong wind, but it has no snow. and blizzard is a sevre snowstorm with strong winds.

Ventisca.

For those who say it isn't, this is what the Diccionary of the Royal Academy says:

ventisca.

1. f. Borrasca de viento, o de viento y nieve....
