Years ago when the first "patternless" leopards hit the market they were called "leucistic". Blizzards are supposedly the true leucistics (or closer to it than patternless), so once they became available the former leucistic became "patternless". Every so often people ask me for leucistic leopards, and usually they are referring to patternless, just using the older name.
Blizzards still confuse me, as there are at least three variations I have seen: very white, yellow tinged, and bright banana blizzard (not to mention the "midnight blizzards"). Isn't leucistic supposed to be devoid of color with black eyes?
