66% would be from a het. x het.

Het x 50% possible het would give 33%.

correct me if I'm wrong but i think its actually 100% het blizzard, as the blizzard morph is a simple recessive trait therefore in order for the female to be a visual blizzard she it essentially homozygous blizzard meaning that all of her offspring will have been passed on one of the two blizzard genes she is carrying at the specific gene loci that makes her a visual blizzard. therefore by process of deduction all of her offspring will be 100% het blizzard irrespective of what she is bred to unless of course it is another blizzard or het blizzard in which case the offspring will be either visual blizzards or 100% het blizzards.
