Every time I hear the lines, "His father built an empire/ his sister loved a thief/ and Lindsay loved the ways of darkness/ Beyond belief", I think of the song "Brother, can you spare a dime" with the line "Once I built a railroad, made it run [...]/ Once I built a railroad; now it's done." and also the non-PC rhyme "Taffy was a Welshman, Taffy was a thief".

This is probably WAAAY out there, but maybe "the blizzards come and go" means the dwindling and flooding supplies of cocaine in the Hollywood area. I'm not sure what to think of "the stab and glare and buckshot" though. Deer have a certain glare in their eyes in the wilderness especially when they spot a hunter or other prey or danger, and buckshot is used to kill them. Another thing about "glare" - people on cocaine have a glare in their eyes or a glossy look to them. "The stab" - I have no idea.
