What happens to plants/people/landscape during a blizzard?

Im doing a science report on blizzards and i need to know what happens to plants, people and landscape...Any ideas? =) Thanks.|||hi


Well lilbizzys right. As far as the plants go most of them are hearty plants to live in places that are regularly hit with blizzards. Sometimes heavy wet snow can break branches. People mostly stay home depending on the severity of the storm. If its an actual blizzard towns will just simply shut down until the city trucks can clear the roads. Sometimes in the worst cases this can be a few days. Grass simply goes dormant and stops growing till spring, kind of like hibernation. The landscape isn't effected much by snow and wind ( blizzard warning=sustained 35mph winds and heavy snow in 3 hours.) Blizzards usually are so bad due to wind and low visibility less than 1/4mi. The most damage to landscape and plants are humans plowing and salting. Salt isn't good for the environment and water. Plows usually will tare out large amounts of grass and maby knock down an occasional tree or bush.|||Plants go dormant or can die


people get frozen in, get hypothermia or die


landscape is covered with snow and there is damages.|||Being a plant under the snow during a blizzard is like being in a submarine (submerged) while it's raining.|||they get covered in snow
