Snowing hard, and starting to stick. Went really dark just before it arrived.

[Lynxus]

Bright and sunny here now.

Passed over VERY quickly. Looks like a fairly big cell is heading this way though.

[Optimus Prime]

According to Environment Canada, a winter storm must have winds of 40 km/h (25 mph) or more, have snow or blowing snow, visibility less than 500 feet (150 m), a wind chill of less than −25 °C (−15 °F), and all of these conditions must last for 3 hours or more before the storm can be properly called a blizzard.

Many European countries, such as the UK, have a lower threshold: the Met Office defines a blizzard as "moderate or heavy snow" combined with a mean wind speed of 30 mph (48 km/h) and visibility below 650 feet (200 m).

None of those condition are even being cloe to being met outside the highlands.
