snow flurry

Light winter dusting

A snow flurry is a brief, light snowfall that produces little accumulation.

Flurries typically last only minutes and involve scattered, wind-driven flakes rather than steady precipitation: The forecast calls for snow flurries this afternoon.

Unlike a snow shower, a flurry suggests something even more fleeting and inconsequential.
