What are the symptoms of chionophobia?

Children and adults with a fear of snow have extreme anxiety when:

• Hearing a weather report with snow in the forecast.
• Seeing snow (either in person or in a movie or a photograph).
• Thinking about snow.

They may lose sleep over predicted wintry weather. They may also become obsessed with stockpiling groceries before the first snowflake falls. Sometimes, these people make major life decisions to avoid snow. They may even move to warmer climates where wintry weather is rare.

Anxiety from chionophobia can cause:

• Chills.
• Dizziness and lightheadedness.
• Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
• Heart palpitations.
• Nausea.
• Shortness of breath (dyspnea).
• Trembling or shaking.
• Upset stomach or indigestion (dyspepsia).
