Yes you would get albinos, as the albino gene falls on the same allele in both cornsnakes and kingsnakes. The albino gene also falls on the same allele in kingsnakes and pueblan milksnakes.
As far as blizzards go, no you wouldn't get blizzards. Cornsnake blizzards are a combination of two recessive genes, amelanism and type B anerythrism. Kingsnake blizzards I believe are either nigritis x albino kingsnake or amelanistic banana or aberrants (anyone with more info please correct me). So you would get normals jungles het blizzard and albino jungles het anery type B (blizzard). We are working on a "Snowflake" king right now, Melanistic Thayeri X Ruthveni.
