flurrying

Moving in gusts

Flurrying describes light, swirling motion—snow falling in gusts, leaves scattering in wind, or activity happening in brief bursts: Snow was flurrying outside the window.

It suggests something scattered and intermittent rather than sustained.

Figuratively, it can describe rushed or agitated movement: assistants flurrying around the office before the meeting.
