Scott,
blizzard is the best discriptive term for now, but I hope maybe we can come up with something else to call this if it does prove out to be one copy axanthic and one copy anerythristic, plus two copies albino, because blizzard which is a term borrowed from corns (amel and charcoal, double recessive combo), is really a different genotype and all recessive genes, whereas the axanthic plains gene is a dominant gene to wild type, but based on previous breedings appears to be a co-dominant allele to anerythristic at the same loci. There is still a lot of work and breeding trials to be done to characterize the relationship of these 3 plains morphs: axanthic, anery, albino....not just how they relate to wild type genes, but also how they relate to each other and in combinations. This is very intersting and may prove to be quite unique.
