Blizzard Conditions in Copenhagen today
Dec. 17 (Bloomberg) -- World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.
probably would not be defined as a blizzard in the US - even though per Wunderground, the temp is low enough and the wind is high enough and there is snow in the air, nonetheless the visibility is not low enough
Really. In Buffalo it's not a blizzard until we get at least four feet (122 cm) of snow in under six hours plus all that other stuff. ;-)
Last time Chicago had a blizzard like that we got a new mayor. Hmmm ...
Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn't had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI's definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).

DMI defines a white Christmas as 90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of Dec. 24.
fwiw, I had a forecast for this event in Rantburg on the 13th
