What are the complications of chionophobia?
Untreated, chionophobia can disrupt everyday activities and affect your quality of life. Extreme anxiety and panic attacks can cause serious physical symptoms and emotional problems.
Some people with chionophobia go to great lengths to avoid snow. People who live in cold climates may stay indoors for several weeks or months because they worry it might snow. They may lose friends, struggle with family or partners, and have a difficult time keeping a job. People with severe chionophobia may choose to move away from their support network to a place where it rarely snows.
