Description[]
Blizzards, also known as snow storms, are a combination of snowfall and moderate to strong wind. They can make an average amount of snowfall a major problem by creating very large and aerodynamic (or sand dune like) piles of snow that can block roads. Blizzards are also known to hinder vision due to the snow falling at an angle along with the wind.
In San Esperito[]
San Esperito is entirely a warm climate zone with jungle, however there's a weapon called Fleisher AR-5 Blizzard.
In Panau[]
The Berawan Besar Mountains have snow, but no snow is ever seen falling.
One of the cut game features was optional winter clothing for Rico, which he would have used in the snowy areas.
In Medici[]
The mountains have some snow, but there's no snow weather type.
The game also had a snowmobile at some point during development, but this was completely cancelled. The final game still has a file named "v3001_bike_autostraad_snowmobile_debug.ee" for a vehicle named "Autostraad Snowmobile", but it does nothing. See also: Cut game content from Just Cause 3.
Relevant to modding the game, a leaked beta version of the game has an option called "force material", which allows the replacement of all the games terrain texture. These options can make the surface texture seem all rocky, or sand, or ice, or yellow with tall hay, among several other options. This can be exploited to create a winter conversion mod.
In Solís[]
In the game a blizzard also includes lightning. This makes it really a hybrid snowstorm/lightning storm. Such an event is rare in reality (see more in trivia below).
During the mission Operation Whiteout, Rico got his parachute and wingsuit tangled by a storm.
Blizzards are limited to the mountain regions in the middle of the map.
It is revealed during storyline missions that all the storms in Solís are controlled by technology, more specifically by Project Illapa. The main facility of the project, the Illapa base, is located in the mountains and the blizzard is artificially created to protect the facility and its surrounding bases and area.

Trivia[]
- About lightning in a snowstorm: In reality this is a rare event called a "thunder snow". A thunder snow is technically classified as a thunder storm. It occurs when normal flat snow storm clouds develop "turrets". These "turrets" rise about 5,000ft above the "normal clouds". When the air above it is cool and dry after rising, the shallow layer below it can become unstable. If this happens when the temperature is about -10 to -20 Celsius, it makes the conditions favorable to developing snow. The snow particle interactions can create static electricity, thus creating lightning. Places where thunder snows are known to occur are the Great Lakes region, Great Salt Lake and the Himalayas. The last one is perhaps the most similar to the Sierra Qachas of Solís.
