The main idea here is identifying a term that describes a winter storm characterized by noticeable snow buildup, not just the falling snow or the wind.

A snow storm refers to a storm system that brings a substantial amount of snow, leading to significant accumulation. The other terms highlight different features: a blizzard includes strong winds and very low visibility, which isn’t specified in the prompt; snowfall describes how much snow falls, but not the overall storm event; and snow flurry means light, brief snow with little or no accumulation. Since the question focuses on a winter storm with significant snow accumulation, the term that best fits that description is Snow Storm.
