The correct answer is (c). A blizzard is a severe snowstorm with strong winds and low visibility. It is most common in the northern United States and Canada, but can also occur in other parts of the world. The other options are all correctly matched.<\/p>\n
A Chinook is a warm, dry wind that blows down the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains. It is most common in the winter, when it can raise temperatures by as much as 30 degrees Fahrenheit in a matter of hours. The Sirocco is a hot, dry wind that blows from the Sahara Desert across the Mediterranean Sea to southern Europe. It is most common in the summer, when it can cause temperatures to soar and humidity to drop. Nor’westers are strong, cold winds that blow from the northwest in India. They are most common in the winter, when they can cause temperatures to drop below freezing and bring heavy snowfall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
