snow flurries
Brief scattered flakes
Snow flurries are brief, light episodes of snowfall that produce little or no accumulation.
Unlike a steady snowstorm, flurries come and go unpredictably, with scattered flakes drifting down for minutes at a time: The forecast calls for snow flurries this afternoon.
The term appears mainly in weather reports and casual conversation about winter conditions.
