A blizzard is a severe snowstorm characterized by strong winds and significant snowfall, reducing visibility significantly. Blizzards occur in regions experiencing cold temperatures and heavy snowfall, typically at high altitudes or latitudes during winter. Among the given options, Arunachal Pradesh, particularly its higher elevations, is located in the Himalayas where cold conditions and heavy snowfall occur in winter, making it possible to encounter blizzards.

Assam, Tripura, and Odisha are located in lower altitude areas or regions with tropical/subtropical climates that do not experience the combination of severe cold, heavy snowfall, and high winds necessary for blizzards.

Blizzards are dangerous weather phenomena that can cause whiteout conditions, drifting snow, and dangerously low temperatures (wind chill). People traveling in mountainous regions or northern parts of India during winter should be prepared for potential snowstorms, including blizzards, especially in states like Jammu & Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and the higher parts of Arunachal Pradesh.
