A snow flurry is a light snowfall that results in little or no snow accumulation. The US National Weather Service defines snow flurries as intermittent light snow that produces no measurable precipitation (trace amounts).[1] In contrast, bursts of snowfall that do result in measurable snow accumulation are called snow showers.[2] Environment Canada uses a different definition for flurries, approximately equivalent to 'snow shower'.[3]
