"the blizzard" news and stories

Not sure what the weather is where you are. Here it's icy cold (love it!) and windy but sunny. We had a dusting of snow over the weekend, but nothing to resemble a snowstorm, and certainly nothing resembling a blizzard.

But that doesn't mean we can't have a blizzard tonight. Several of them, in fact. I've found a bunch of different recipes for a cocktail called the Blizzard, including this one from Cocktail.com that includes Chambord, vodka, Kahlua, and white creme de cacao; this one from SuperCocktails.com that uses brandy, Irish cream, coffee liqueur, and white rum; and this one for a Kickin' Blizzard that uses ice cream.

The quirkiest variation I've found is this one called The Bleeding Blizzard, which mixes beer, Kool-Aid, and peach Schnapps!
