Comments:Two different sizes of Blizzard Boxes are shown here -- smaller and larger. Both have three compartments and are based on an accordion fold.
 
The smaller version could be filled with candies and used as a party favor. The larger version would be useful for holding long, slim items like pens, pencils, markers, watercolor brushes, or your origami bone folder.
 
A smaller three-compartment box can be nested in a larger one to create a box with nine compartments, as shown in the nested view at left.
 
These boxes are collapsible, so you could make a supply of them and store them compactly in their collapsed state until you needed to use them.
 
Although this box model looks complicated, it only requires the knowledge of how to make three basic origami folds: the valley, the mountain, and the inside reverse fold.
 
The diagrams and instructions provided in the designers' book are very clear and easy to follow. Guidelines are included for how to size a set of boxes so that they will nest properly.
 
Why is this model called a Blizzard Box? The designers explain that this model is part of a family of structures which emerged when an unexpected day off from work due to a blizzard resulted in an intense session of folding.
 
In discussing the evolution of the Blizzard Box, Kyle and Warchol acknowledge the contribution of Bill Hanscom, one of Hedi Kyle's former students. Wonderful folded models are often the products of a collaborative process, and the Blizzard Box is a good example of that.
