This is also a precaution about driving plans. Do not risk driving in seriously dangerous conditions. Blizzard conditions bring with it not just high amounts of snow, but, white out conditions that makes it impossible to travel.
Imagine being in a seriously "white out" condition and seeing the road is impossible so stopping the car and getting out to walk may seem realistic. Walking in "white out" conditions is just as serious as driving if not more so, because, there is nothing protecting a person from freezing temperatures except their clothing.
"White Out Conditions" is not just a set of words, it is seriously dangerous conditions that no one regardless of experience with winter weather can survive.
