Jay, not sure about your term "driving snow-storm". Your first
description of the situation was that luckily, there was little to no
wind although lots of snow was falling.

Using the descriptor "driving" makes it sound like there was wind.

Doesn't really matter if there was wind or not. The aircraft
is moving at 80 knots or something like that....ever flown in
snow? It appears to be coming straight at you.
