Snow Squalls

The Official Snow Squall Definition, Ways A Snow Squall Will Affect You, And How To Prepare For A Snow Squall In Your Area

A snow squall is a sudden, heavy snowstorm that doesn't last very long. It's similar to a blizzard with massive snowfall, strong wind gusts, and whiteout conditions -- but it only occurs for a relatively brief time and appears in relatively small areas at a time. With a snow squall, the snow accumulation may or may not be significant. The wind and blowing snow that move through so quickly are the trademark signs of a snow squall.
