What is a Snow Flurry?

Snow flurries are the lightest form of snow precipitation.

Another way to think of it would be the wintertime equivalent of drizzle, but in frozen form.

Snow flurries are often brief in duration, and very light.

Rarely will snow flurries cause any type of accumulation.

It is also sometimes referred to as a light snow shower, and is classified as snow that meets the visibility requirements for light intensity snowfall.
