So has anybody here ever been in a snowstorm?

I've got a character high up in a building, looking out at night during a snowstorm. I've never seen that, so I'm not sure what it would look like. Visibility? Would anything be visible, or just a big mass of... grey? white? The view is of a very big lake - would it be there, or would it be impossible to see that far?

I just need to know enough to spin out from, but I do want to write it so it makes sense and doesn't sound like, well, like I've never been in a fucking snowstorm, for starters. LOL.

"Mira! Viene una tormenta!" the boy cried, running off down the road.

"What did he say?" asked the woman in the jeep.

"He says there's a storm coming," said the old man, gesturing away north.

The woman shifted her gaze warily towards the dark clouds gathering on the horizon. "I know," she replied.
