Polish term or phrase: zawieje vs zamiecie
Potrzebuję rozróżnienia pomiędzy zawiejami i zamieciami. Znajduję tylko snowstorm albo bizzard, ale te dwa pojęcia są stosowane zamiennie zarówno do zawiei jak i zamieci. Zawieje to sytuacja kiedy pada śnieg i jednocześnie wieje silny wiatr. Zamieć jest wtedy kiedy śnieg z podłoża jest podnoszony i niesiony przez wiatr.

snowstorm vs blowing snow


Explanation:
To tylko przybliżenie, bo "snowstorm" nie wyklucza całkiem, że śnieg nie pada, a "blowing snow" nie wyklucza, że śnieg pada. To drugie można uściślić - blowing surface snow. "Blizzard" to mocniejszy "snowstorm".
