Thanks, I knew the comparison was hard to make but I also knew that
snow storms could be very destructive without the wind damage, etc.
I've lived through both, so I am able to gauge the differences and similarities. Neither are weather events that are anything to sneeze at.
A number of years ago, during a for real blizzard, a house, not far from me, went up in flames, due to downed live wires; the house was completely destroyed...inside and out.
