How it's used
Refers specifically to a combination of strong wind and heavy snowfall, making it more intense than just falling snow. It is rarely used in Hong Kong daily life due to the local climate, so it typically appears when discussing weather in northern regions or foreign countries. When describing the severity, it is common to add adjectives like 大 or 猛 before it.
