So Blizzards, they would only occur in Snow Biomes. What they do basically is that during a Blizzard, if you are outside, or are not inside an enclosed area, then the world would look as if your render distance were on tiny, but instead of fog blocking your vision, it would be fast moving, slightly more horizontal snow particles. Besides this, there is essentially no danger to YOU during a Blizzard. However, if a Blizzard happens to occur, then the ground level would be raised by 1-4 blocks, but not with dirt, with snow blocks. So say you are in your house during a Blizzard, once the Blizzard ends there is a possibility that your door could be blocked off by snow blocks. The amount of levels in which the ground is raised could also be randomized.
Luckily, you won't have to worry about your snow biome being completely consumed by snow blocks. Maybe every Minecraft day, one layer would melt away. So don't worry about cleaning it all up by yourself, let nature handle it.
A possible addition to this could be that Snow Golems (Or Snowmen) would spawn in the area during a Blizzard.
I like the idea.
But I have a few questions, if your door was to be blocked off, how would you get out? Would the snow 'melt' or would you have to go from like your roof or higher point of your wall and break through it to get out?

That could be pretty fun, I do like the idea of potentially having to dig myself out of a shelter afterwards. Would need to have something of a built in thaw out though, like maybe 1 snow block a day would melt off the top, so that subsequent blizzards wouldn't have an accumulative effect. Once it gets down to the last block, it would convert that one to the light snow cover rather than getting rid of it all together.

Well you open your door...and dig your way out through the snow. you can't literally block doors off, you can still open them either way. Anyways, I was thinking of having it melt, just so it wouldn't continuously build up.

Doors occupy their own 2 block high area, nothing interferes with their open close movement. You would just open the door and start digging from that point.

Yea, in the post that I just made I said that I think they should melt, just so they don't continuously build up.

I see.
Well it's a nice idea, I would really hope for a blizzard, it would just add more to the worlds.
I'm just worried about the lag it may cause some users with poor computers.

Shouldn't really be any worse than rain currently is.
I said that it would in my post.
The statement above is false.
Why do I get the feeling this will be mod-only territory though?

Why do we have a Suggestions section if everyone shoots everyone else down? I suggest renaming it the Flame War section. Pun intended.
Yes, why indeed.
The statement above is false.
That could work too.
