Only if the water comes from the sky.
If the water mostly comes in from the shores, it’s more like a warm weather avalanche.
I mean kinda, and I definitely see your logic. To be “that guy”, though, the definition of a blizzard includes some specific conditions, at least where I’m from; 40 km/h winds, visibility of 400 metres or less, and it has to last at least 4 hours.
Much higher threshold for visibility than i would’ve assumed tbh.
Sooo… Hurricane Katrina was both a warm weather blizzard and avalanche. Gotcha 👍
That’s just rain lmao

I think it’s often a combination of the two. The most flood prone areas near me are the hilly mountainous areas where it can rain a lot. The floods typically happen after longish periods of heavy rainfall.
The point about topography is valid but floods are often triggered by rainfall, at least as the immediate precursor.
From a human perspective they’re both extreme weather events, that can cutoff communities and are dangerous. Snow drifts will form by a combination of topography and wind.
Only if it’s a flood caused by a lotta rain falling at once. Otherwise it’s more like an avalanche.
No
